WARNING:
• Light bulbs can be hot enough to
burn your finger right after being
turned off. 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.
CAUTION:
The oils from your skin may cause a
halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new
bulb with a clean cloth.
CAUTION:
Frequent replacement of a bulb indicates
the need for an inspection of
the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
If it is difficult to replace headlight bulbs or
parking light bulbs due to under-hood components
trust this job to your dealer.
