EXHAUST SYSTEM
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle body is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust
system; or if the exhaust fumes can be detected
inside the vehicle; or when the underside or rear of
the vehicle is damaged; have an authorized
technician inspect the complete exhaust system
and adjacent body areas for broken, damaged,
deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams
or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes
to seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, have the exhaust system inspected each
time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change. Replace as required.

Replacing Exterior Bulbs
HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID) HEAD -
LAMPS — 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
ignition turned to the OFF position. 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 lights. This diminishes and becomes more
white after approximately 10 seconds, as the
system charges.
BI-HALOGEN LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM
HEADLAMP — IF EQUIPPED
See steps below to replace:
1. Open the hood.
NOTE:Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be
necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the headlamp
assembly on the driver side of the vehicle.
2. Reach behind the headlamp housing to access the headlamp (outboard) bulb cap.
Headlamp Bulb Cap
3. Firmly grab the cap and rotate it counter
-
clockwise to unlock it.
4. Twist the headlamp bulb assembly counter -
clockwise, and then pull it out of the headlamp
assembly.
Headlamp Bulb Location
5. Disconnect the bulb from the wiring assembly and install the replacement bulb.
6. Reinstall the bulb and wiring assembly into the headlamp assembly, and then turn it
clockwise.
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.
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.

7. Reinstall the access cap making sure it is seated into the housing and turn cap
clockwise to engage locking lugs. Visually, you
should be unable to see the blue O-ring gasket.
The access cap should be uniformly seated
and you should not be able to pull the access
cap off without turning it counterclockwise.
FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
See steps below to replace:
1. Open the hood.
NOTE:Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be
necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the headlamp
assembly on the driver side of the vehicle. 2. Reach behind the headlamp housing to access
the turn signal (inboard) bulb cap.
Turn Signal Bulb Cap
3. Firmly grab the cap and rotate it counter -
clockwise to unlock it.
Turn Signal Bulb Location
4. Squeeze the two tabs on the side of the bulb
socket and pull straight out from the lamp
assembly.
5. Disconnect the bulb from the wiring connector and install the replacement bulb.
6. Install the bulb and connector assembly straight into the lamp until it locks in place.
7. Install the turn signal bulb cap in the headlamp housing and rotate clockwise to lock in place.
FRONT FOG LAMPS
The Front Fog Lamps use LED sources that are not
serviceable separately. The Front Fog Lamp must
be replaced as an assembly; see an authorized
dealer.
FRONT/REAR SIDE MARKER LAMPS
The Side Markers use LED lamps that are not
serviceable separately. The Side Markers must be
replaced as an assembly, see an authorized
dealer.
CAUTION!
If the access cap is not installed correctly after
bulb replacement, the lamp becomes
susceptible to dust, condensation, and water
intrusion. This may ultimately lead to an
inoperative lamp. If the access cap cannot be
installed correctly, please return to an
authorized dealer for proper repair or access
cap replacement if necessary.
