PURPOSE

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform Saturn Retailers of normal headlamp and instrument panel illumination characteristics.

Customers may comment on sporadic dimming (flickering) of the headlamps and/or instrument cluster illumination. The flickering may occur intermittently as a result of transient current loads on the electrical system during normal vehicle operation; however, at no time do the headlamps turn completely off. This is considered a normal operating characteristic.

No service is required for this condition.
