Service Precautions <Discharge Headlight>: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Before checking the discharge headlight related parts, be sure to read the following warnings and precautions carefully, and then perform necessary operations.

WARNING:
  • Do not touch the socket and the connector while the headlights are on. High voltage is applied to the bulb socket and connector during headlight operation. The operator may be burnt or dead due to an electric shock by high voltage.
  • Do not attempt to use a tester to check them. If the bulb socket and connectors should be inspected using a tester, the operator may be burnt or dead due to an electric shock by high voltage.
  • Do not turn ON the headlights while the controller or the bulb is removed. If the headlights are turned ON with the controller or bulb removed, the operator may get burned by the high temperature of the bulb. The operator may be burnt or dead due to an electric shock by high voltage.
  • Before service work, turn the lighting switch OFF and disconnect the battery terminal and the controller connector in a dry place. Do not touch the components with wet hands. If you work on the components with wet hands or in wet conditions, the operator may be burnt or dead due to an electric shock by high voltage.
WARNING:

Do not illuminate the bare headlight bulb. (Do not illuminate the headlight using other than the vehicle power supply.) If the headlight bulb illuminates without fitting it in the headlight unit, it may burst due to rise in its internal pressure.

CAUTION:

When reusing the controller with the discharge headlight damaged, observe the inspection procedures for the related parts of the discharge headlight before determining the reusability of the controller. If you fail to observe "How to check discharge headlight components," the vehicle may be damaged.
