CAUTION

A wheel that is not the correct size
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, braking and stopping
abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, body-to-tire

speedometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height.

WARNING - Halogen

Bulbs

• Wear eye protection when

changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool before handling it.

• Halogen bulbs contain

pressurized gas. If broken, a
halogen bulb will explode and
will produce flying pieces of
glass.

• Always handle halogen bulbs

carefully to avoid scratches
and abrasions. If the bulbs
are lit, avoid contact with
liquids. Never touch the
glass with bare hands.
Residual oil may cause the
bulb to overheat and burst
when lit. A bulb should be
operated only when installed
in the headlight assembly.

• If a bulb becomes damaged

or cracked, replace it
immediately and carefully
dispose it.
