LIGHTING: LIGHTING SYSTEM: PRECAUTION

NOTICE:
When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, initialize the following system after the cable is reconnected.





1. PRECAUTION FOR HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

(a) If even a thin film of oil is left on the surface of the halogen light, the bulb may be damaged because the light will operate at a higher temperature.

(b) Handle any halogen light with great care. Dropping, hitting or damaging the bulb, in any way, may result in exploding and shattering because of the high internal pressure.

(c) Always prepare a new bulb for immediate replacement. While replacing the bulb, the lens may attract dust and moisture if removed from the vehicle for too long.

(d) Always use a bulb of the same wattage for replacement.

(e) Securely reinstall the socket after bulb replacement.

The lens may become cloudy or the light cavity may fill with water through gaps around the socket if not installed correctly.
