■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.

■To prevent damage or fire
●Make sure bulbs are fully seated
and locked.
●Check the wattage of the bulb
before installing to prevent heat damage.

wheel beyond repair. Driving with a
flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall. In such a
case, the tire may explode when
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit, resulting in death or serious
injury.
