■

Condensation build-up on the inside of the lens
Temporary condensation build-up on the inside of the headlight lens does not
indicate a malfunction.

WARNING

■

Replacing light bulbs

●

Turn  off  the  lights.  Do  not  attempt  to  replace  the  bulb  immediately  after
turning off the lights. 
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.

●

Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.

●

Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.

temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelet. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 50 miles (80 km) at under 18 mph (30 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s  wheels,  drive  train,  axles,  steering  and  brakes  must  be  in
good condition.

Securely  attach  cables  or
chains to the towing eyelet.

Take care not to damage the vehi-
cle body.

Vehicles without a smart key system: Enter the vehicle being towed
and start the engine.
If the engine does not start, turn the engine switch to the “ON” posi-
tion.
