Interior lighting battery saver

The dome and/or cargo lamps will automatically extinguish after 10
minutes when the ignition key is OFF, a door has been left open and the
dome and/or cargo lamp controls are in the DOOR position. Otherwise,
interior lamps including the dome and/or cargo lamps will automatically
extinguish after 30 minutes when the ignition key is OFF.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Headlamp Condensation

The headlamps are vented to equalize pressure. When moist air enters
the headlamp(s) through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur. This condensation is normal and will clear
within 45 minutes of headlamp operation.

Replacing exterior bulbs

Check the operation of all the bulbs frequently.

Using the right bulbs

Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs must
be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an “E” for
Europe to assure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe
visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the
lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.
