Condensation in the Exterior Front

Lamps and Rear Lamps

Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have

vents to accommodate normal changes

in air pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product

of this design. When moist air enters the

lamp assembly through the vents, there is

a possibility that condensation can occur

when the temperature is cold. When

normal condensation occurs, a fine mist

can form on the interior of the lens. The

fine mist eventually clears and exits

lamps, license plate lamps and

under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

•

The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,

Note: Prolonged use of the parking lamps

drip marks or large droplets).

causes the battery to run out of charge.

•

A fine mist covers less than 50% of the

lens.

Note: Parking lamps may turn off

automatically. This prevents the vehicle

battery from running out of charge.

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets

present on the interior of the lens.
