Light bulbs
Light bulbs are installed in various
parts of the vehicle to provide light
-
ing inside and outside the vehicle as
well as to alert other vehicles.
Bulb replacement precaution
Please keep extra bulbs on hand
with appropriate wattage ratings in
case of emergencies.
Refer to "Bulb wattage" on page 9-

When changing lamps, first turn off
th
e
vehicle at a safe place, firmly
apply the parking brake and detach
the battery's negative (-) terminal.
Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure that
the vehicle POWER button is in OFF
position and turn off the lights to
avoid sudden movement of the
vehicle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
Use only bulbs of the specified
wattage.
Light replacement
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric wir
-
ing system.
Headlamp Lens
To prevent damage, do not clean the
headlamp lens with chemical sol
-
vents or strong detergents.
䳜 If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed while the lamp is still
on, the fuse box's electronic sys
-
tem may log it as a malfunction.
Therefore, a lamp malfunction
incident may be recorded as a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
the fuse box.
䳜 I
t is normal for an operating lamp
to
flicker momentarily. This is due
to a stabilization function of the
vehicle's electronic control device.
If the lamp lights up normally
after momentarily blinking, then
it is functioning as normal.
However, if the lamp continues to
fli
c
ker several times or turns off
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle's electronic control
