id091800801000

Note

•  Fogging or condensation on the inside of the rear combination lights may occur because of a natural phenomenon occurring as a result of a temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the combination lights. However, it has no effect on the light performance because the phenomenon is resolved when temperature inside the rear combination light rises after the rear turn light is turned on or a period of time has elapsed.

1.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

2.  Insert the remover tool into the service hole at the position shown in the figure.
