GENERAL INFORMATION  
LIGHTING CONTROL  
Condensation in the Exterior Front  
Lamps and Rear Lamps  
Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have  
vents to accommodate normal changes  
in air pressure.  
Condensation can be a natural by-product  
of this design. When moist air enters the  
lamp assembly through the vents, there is  
a possibility that condensation can occur  
when the temperature is cold. When  
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist  
can form on the interior of the lens. The  
fine mist eventually clears and exits

through the vents during normal operation.  
Parking lamps, instrument panel  
lamps, license plate lamps and  
tail lamps.  
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours  
under dry weather conditions.  
C
Headlamps.  
Examples of acceptable condensation are:  
The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,  
Note: Prolonged use of the parking lamps  
drip marks or large droplets).  
causes the battery to run out of charge.  
A fine mist covers less than 50% of the  
lens.  
Note: Parking lamps may turn off  
automatically. This prevents the vehicle  
battery from running out of charge.  
Examples of unacceptable condensation  
are:  
Parking Lamps  
Switch the ignition off.  
Both Sides  
A water puddle inside the lamp.  
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets  
present on the interior of the lens.  
If you see any unacceptable condensation,  
have your vehicle checked by an authorized  
dealer.  
Select position B on the lighting control to  
switch the parking lamps on.
