■Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after turning off the lights. The bulbs
become very hot and may cause burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is unavoidable to hold the
glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb. Also,
if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
●Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so may result in heat damage,
fire, or water entering the light unit. This may damage the lights or cause condensation to build up on
the lens.
■To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

service, using a wheel-lift type

all towing, and abide by all
state/provincial and local laws.
If towing your vehicle with a
wheel-lift type truck, use a tow-
ing dolly. ( →P.309, 310)

the vehicle is towed with the tires con- tacting the ground, the drivetrain or related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck.

ing at the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clear-ance, the vehicle could be dam-
aged while being towed.

Do not tow with a sling-type truck,
either from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
during emergency towing
