4. At the wall measure from the
ground upward (A) to the
recorded distance from Step 3
and mark it.
5. Draw or tape a horizontal line (B)
on the wall the width of the
vehicle at the height of the mark
in Step 4.
Notice:Do not cover a headlamp
to improve beam cut-off when
aiming. Covering a headlamp may
cause excessive heat build-up
which may cause damage to the
headlamp.6. Turn on the low-beam headlamps
and place a piece of cardboard
or equivalent in front of the
headlamp not being adjusted.
This allows only the beam of light
from the headlamp being
adjusted to be seen on the at
surface.
7. Locate the vertical headlamp
aiming screws, which are
under the hood near each
headlamp assembly.
The adjustment screw can be
turned with a E8 Torx
®socket.8. Turn the vertical aiming screw
until the headlamp beam is
aimed to the horizontal tape line.
Turn it clockwise or
counterclockwise to raise or
lower the angle of the beam.
9. Make sure that the light from the
headlamp is positioned at the
bottom edge of the horizontal
tape line. The lamp on the left (A)
shows the correct headlamp aim.
The lamp on the right (B) shows
the incorrect headlamp aim.
10. Repeat Steps 7 through 9 for
the opposite headlamp.

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to
Temporarily Seal and Inate a
Punctured Tire
When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for 5 minutes.
This will help to inate the tire faster.Always do a safety check rst. See
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-58.
1. Remove the tire sealant and
compressor kit from its storage
location. SeeTire Sealant
and Compressor Kit Storage on
page 5-66.
Make sure the on/off button (D)
is in the off (O) position.
2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F)
and the power plug (C).
3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve
stem is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from
the at tire by turning it
counterclockwise.5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F)
onto the tire valve stem. Turn
it clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (C) into the
accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items
from other accessory power
outlets. SeeAccessory Power
Outlet(s) on page 3-16.
If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle
must be running while using
the air compressor.

8. Press the on/off (D) button to
turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.
The pressure gage (E) will initially
show a high pressure while the
compressor pushes the sealant
into the tire. Once the sealant is
completely dispersed into the tire,
the pressure will quickly drop and
start to rise again as the tire
inates with air only.
9. Inate the tire to the
recommended ination pressure
using the pressure gage (E).
The recommended ination
pressure can be found on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. SeeInflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-43.The pressure gage (E) may read
higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor is
on. Turn the compressor off to
get an accurate pressure
reading. The compressor may be
turned on/off until the correct
pressure is reached.
Notice:If the recommended
pressure cannot be reached after
approximately 25 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven
farther. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and
compressor kit cannot inate the
tire. Remove the power plug from
the accessory power outlet and
unscrew the inating hose from
the tire valve. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program on page 7-5.10. Press the on/off button (D) to
turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.
The tire is not sealed and will
continue to leak air until
the vehicle is driven and the
sealant is distributed in the tire,
therefore, Steps 11 through 17
must be done immediately
after Step 10.
Be careful while handling the tire
sealant and compressor kit as it
could be warm after usage.
11. Unplug the power plug (C) from
the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
12. Turn the sealant/air hose (F)
counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
13. Replace the tire valve
stem cap.

Appearance Care
Interior Cleaning
The vehicle’s interior will continue to
look its best if it is cleaned often.
Although not always visible,
dust and dirt can accumulate on the
upholstery. Dirt can damage
carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic
surfaces. Regular vacuuming
is recommended to remove particles
from the upholstery. It is important
to keep the upholstery from
becoming and remaining heavily
soiled. Soils should be removed as
quickly as possible. The vehicle’s
interior may experience extremes of
heat that could cause stains to
set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require
more frequent cleaning. Use care
because newspapers and garments
that transfer color to home
furnishings may also transfer color
to the vehicle’s interior.
