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

through the vents during normal operation.
Parking lamps, instrument panel
lamps, license plate lamps and
tail lamps.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
C
Headlamps.
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.
Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
•

Parking Lamps

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,
