Headlamp Aiming
The vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aimingsystem. The aim of the headlamps have been preset atthe factory and should need no further adjustment.
However, if the vehicle is damaged in a crash, the aimof the headlamps may be affected and adjustment maybe necessary.
If oncoming vehicles flash their high beams at you, thismay mean the vertical aim of your headlamps needs tobe adjusted.
It is recommended that the vehicle is taken to yourdealer/retailer for service if the headlamps need to beadjusted. It is possible however, to re-aim theheadlamps as described.
The vehicle should:
.Be placed so the headlamps are 25 ft. (7.6 m) froma light colored wall or other flat surface.
.Have all four tires on a level surface which is levelall the way to the wall or other flat surface.
.Be placed so it is perpendicular to the wall or otherflat surface.
.Not have any snow, ice, or mud on it.
.Be fully assembled and all other work stoppedwhile headlamp aiming is being performed.
.Be normally loaded with a full tank of fuel and oneperson or 160 lbs (75 kg) sitting on the driver seat.
.Have the tires properly inflated.
.Have the spare tire is in its proper location in thevehicle.
Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle's low-beamheadlamps. The high-beam headlamps will be correctlyaimed if the low-beam headlamps are aimed properly.
To adjust the vertical aim:
1. Open the hood. SeeHood Releaseon page 7!15for more information.
2. Locate the center ofthe projector lens ofthe low!beamheadlamp.
3. Record the distance from the ground to the centerof the projector lens of the low!beam headlamp.

4. At a wall, measure from the ground upward (A) tothe recorded distance from Step 3 and mark it.
5. Draw or tape a horizontal line (B) on the wall thewidth of the vehicle at the height of the mark inStep 4.
Notice:Do not cover a headlamp to improve beamcut-off when aiming. Covering a headlamp maycause excessive heat build-up which may causedamage to the headlamp.
6. Turn on the low-beam headlamps and place apiece of cardboard or equivalent in front of theheadlamp not being adjusted. This allows only thebeam of light from the headlamp being adjusted tobe seen on the flat surface.
7. Locate the vertical headlamp aiming screws, whichare under the hood near each headlamp assembly.
The adjustment screw can be turned with aE8 Torx®socket.
8. Turn the vertical aiming screw until the headlampbeam is aimed to the horizontal tape line. Turn itclockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower theangle of the beam.
7-53

9. Make sure that the light from the headlamp ispositioned at the bottom edge of the horizontaltape line. The lamp on the left (A) shows thecorrect headlamp aim. The lamp on the right (B)shows the incorrect headlamp aim.
10. Repeat Steps 7 through 9 for the oppositeheadlamp.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulbs, seeReplacement Bulbs on page 7!56.
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in thissection, contact your dealer/retailer.
High Intensity Discharge (HID)
Lighting
{WARNING:
The low beam high intensity discharge lighting
system operates at a very high voltage. If you try
to service any of the system components, you
could be seriously injured. Have your dealer/
retailer or a qualified technician service them.
The vehicle may have HID headlamps. After an HIDheadlamp bulb has been replaced, you may notice thatthe beam is a slightly different shade than it wasoriginally. This is normal.
