INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Headlights

Bulb replacement

EXAMPLE

CAUTION

• Light bulbs can be hot enough to

burn your finger right after turning

off lights. This is true especially for

halogen headlight bulbs. Replace

the bulbs after they become cool

enough.

• The headlight bulbs are filled with

pressurized halogen gas. They can

burst and injure you if they are hit

or dropped. Handle them carefully.

• To avoid injury by sharp-edged

parts of the body, wear gloves and

a long-sleeved shirt when replacing

light bulbs.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Check that there is washer fluid in the tank

by looking at the washer fluid level gauge

which is attached to the cap of the washer

fluid tank. If the fluid level is near empty,

refill it. Use a good quality windshield

washer fluid, diluted with water as neces-

sary.

Windshield washer fluid

Air conditioning system

If you do not use the air conditioner for a

long period, such as during winter, it may

not give the best performance when you

start using it again. To help maintain opti-

mum performance and durability of your air

conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.

Operate the air conditioner at least once a

month for one minute with the engine

idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil

and helps protect the internal components.

EXAMPLE

WARNING

Do not use anti-freeze solution in the

windshield washer reservoir. This

can severely impair visibility when

sprayed on the windshield, and also

damage your vehicle’s paint.

NOTICE

80JM078

Damage may result if the washer

motor is operated with no fluid in the

washer tank.
