Maintenance and care • Backup lamps • License plate lamp Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they will be replaced immediately. If a bulb is removed for an extended period of time, contaminants may enter the lamp housings and affect performance. Replacing headlamp bulbs Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of children's reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlamps are operated. To remove the headlamp bulb: 1. Make sure headlamp switch is in OFF position. 2. Lift the hood and remove the protective cover from the top of the headlamps by lifting up on the rear corners and release the velcro attachments. Lift the cover and pull towards the windshield. 3. At the back of the headlamp, pull back slightly and up on the two retainer pins to release the headlamp assembly from the vehicle and pull headlamp forward. 4. Remove the protective dust shield from the housing by turning the dust shield counterclockwise (when viewed from the rear). 184
