WARNING
■To prevent injury
Before performing any light bulb
replacement procedure, be sure to turn
the engine switch off. Failure to do so

or a part of your bo dy may get caught on
an operating component, possibly caus-
ing serious injury.
■Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to
replace the bulb immediately after

Doing so may result in death or serious
injury due to electric shock.
■To prevent damage or fire
●Make sure bulbs are fully seated and
locked.
