206IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
REPLACING EXTERIOR BULBS
Low Beam Headlamp, High Beam
Headlamp — Models With Halogen
Headlamps — If Equipped

1. Open the hood.

Headlamp Assembly Dust Cap Location

NOTE:
Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be
necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the head -
lamp assembly on the driver side of the vehicle.
2. Remove the large dust cap from the headlamp housing by turning it counter -
clockwise. 3. Turn the bulb counterclockwise, and
remove.

Headlamp Location

4. Disconnect the bulb from the socket assembly and install the replacement bulb.
5. Reinstall the bulb and socket assembly into the headlamp assembly, and then turn it
clockwise.
6. Reinstall the dust cap.
Low Beam Headlamp, High Beam
Headlamp — Models With High Intensity
Discharge (HID) Headlamps — If Equipped
The headlamps are a type of high voltage
discharge tube. High voltage can remain in the
circuit even with the headlamp switch off and
the key removed. Because of this, you should
not attempt to service a headlamp bulb
yourself. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps,
when the headlamps are turned on, there is a
blue hue to the lamps. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately
10 seconds, as the system charges.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers.
Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb
life. If the bulb comes in contact with any oily
surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb
sockets of HID headlamps when the
headlamp switch is turned ON. It may cause
serious electrical shock or electrocution if not
serviced properly. See an authorized dealer
for service.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE239
Heavy Duty Use Of The Vehicle
Change engine oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) or
350 hours of engine run time if the vehicle is
operated in a dusty and off road environment or
is operated predominately at idle or only very
low engine RPM. This type of vehicle use is
considered Severe Duty.
6.2L SUPERCHARGED AND 6.4L
E
NGINES
The scheduled maintenance services listed in
this manual must be done at the times or
mileages specified to protect your vehicle
warranty and ensure the best vehicle
performance and reliability. More frequent
maintenance may be needed for vehicles in
severe operating conditions, such as dusty
areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and
service should also be done anytime a
malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you
that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
An “Oil Change Required” message will be
displayed in the instrument cluster and a single
chime will sound, indicating that an oil change
is necessary. Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within the next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:
The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicle's oil if it has been six
months since your last oil change, even if the
oil change indicator message is NOT illumi-
nated.
Change your engine oil more often if you drive
your vehicle off-road/track usage for an
extended period of time.
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or
6 months, whichever comes first.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change
is performed by someone other than an
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by
referring to the steps described under
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information. At Each Stop For Fuel
Check the engine oil level. Refer to “Engine
Compartment” in this chapter for further
information.
Check the windshield washer solvent and
add if required.
Once A Month
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage.
Inspect the battery, and clean and tighten the
terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder and add as needed.
Check all lights and other electrical items for
correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required maintenance
items may result in damage to the vehicle.
