234 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamps
If Equipped
The headlamps contain a type of high voltage
discharge light source. High voltage can remain
in the circuit even with the headlamp switch off.
Because of this, you should not attempt to
service a HID headlamp light source yourself. If
an HID headlamp light source fails, take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps,
when the headlamps are turned on, there is a
blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately
10 seconds, as the system charges.

serviced properly. See an authorized dealer
