Subaru Forester: Maintenance and service / Replacing bulbs
It may be difficult to replace the bulbs. We
recommend that you have the bulb replaced
by your SUBARU dealer if necessary.
WARNING
Bulbs may become very hot while
illuminated. Before replacing bulbs,
turn off the lights and wait until the
bulbs cool down. Otherwise, there is
a risk of sustaining a burn.
CAUTION
- Replace any bulb only with a new
bulb of the specified wattage.
Using a bulb of different wattage
could result in a fire. For the
specified wattage of each bulb,
refer to “Bulb chart”.
- Do not touch the glass portion of
the light bulb with bare hands.
When holding the glass portion is
unavoidable, hold it using with a
clean dry cloth to avoid getting
moisture and grease on the bulb.
If there is any fingerprints or
grease on the bulb surface, wipe
them away with a soft cloth
moistened with alcohol. Also, if
the bulb is scratched or dropped,
it may blow out or crack.
NOTE
For models with type B combination
meter, if SRH is malfunctioning, the
SRH OFF indicator appears on the
combination meter when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position. It
indicates that SRH has been deactivated.
Contact a SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.
The LED headlight warning light illuminates
