Owner Maintenance

WARNING

  Never touch the glass portion of a 
halogen bulb with your bare hands 
and always wear eye protection when 
handling or working around the bulbs:

  When a halogen bulb breaks, it is 
dangerous. These bulbs contain 
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it will 
explode and serious injuries could be 
caused by the fl ying glass.
  If the glass portion is touched with 
bare hands, body oil could cause the 
bulb to overheat and explode when lit.
  

  Always keep halogen bulbs out of the 
reach of children:

  Playing with a halogen bulb is 
dangerous. Serious injuries could be 
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or 
breaking it some other way.

CAUTION

  When removing the lens or lamp unit 
using a fl athead screwdriver, make 
sure that the fl athead screwdriver does 
not contact the interior terminal. If 
the fl athead screwdriver contacts the 
terminal, a short circuit may occur.

   NOTE

y

  To replace the bulb, contact an 

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

y

  If the halogen bulb is accidentally 

touched, it should be cleaned with 
rubbing alcohol before being used.

y

  Use the protective cover and carton for 

the replacement bulb to dispose of the 
old bulb promptly and out of the reach 
of children.
