Maintenance and care EXTERIOR BULBS Replacing exterior bulbs Check the operation of the following lamps frequently: • Headlamps • Tail lamps • Brakelamps • High-mount brakelamp • Turn signals • 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, then open the hood. 2. Remove the sight shield by turning the three knobs to the unlock position. 3. Disengage the safety snap on the connector by pulling upward slightly on the clip. 4. Release clip and disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb. 133
