Headlamp Vertical Aiming
To properly prepare the vehicle for vertical
headlamp aiming seeHeadlamp Aiming on
page 408for more information.
To adjust the vertical aim, do the following:
Notice:Horizontal aiming must be performed
before making any adjustments to the
vertical aim. Adjusting the vertical aim rst will
result in an incorrect headlamp aim.
1. Open the hood. SeeHood Release on
page 373for more information.
2. Locate the aim dot on the inner projector lens
of the low-beam headlamp.
3. Measure the distance from the ground to the
aim dot on each low-beam headlamp. Record
this distance.4. At the wall or other at surface, measure from
the ground upward (A) to the recorded
distance from Step 3 and mark it.
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.
5. Draw or tape a horizontal line (B) on the wall
or at surface the width of the vehicle at the
height of the mark in Step 4.
6. Turn on the low-beam headlamps and place a
piece of cardboard in front of the headlamp
not being aimed. This should allow only
the beam of light from the headlamp being
aimed 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
6 mm male hex.
8. Turn the vertical
aiming screw until
the headlamp
beam is aimed to
the horizontal
tape line.
9. The top edge of the cut-off should be
positioned at the bottom edge of the horizontal
tape line.10. 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.
11. Repeat Steps 7 through 9 for the opposite
headlamp.

If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel
bolts or wheel nuts, replace them only with
new GM original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for your vehicle.
{CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts on your vehicle
can be dangerous. It could affect the
braking and handling of your vehicle,
make your tires lose air and make you
lose control. You could have a collision in
which you or others could be injured.
Always use the correct wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts for replacement.
Notice:The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle ground
clearance, and tire clearance to the body
and chassis.
{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel
could come off and cause a crash. When
you change a wheel, remove any rust or
dirt from places where the wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can
use a cloth or a paper towel to do this;
but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if you need to, to get all the rust or
dirt off.
{CAUTION:
Never use oil or grease on studs or the
threads of the wheel nuts. If you do, the
wheel nuts might come loose and the
wheel could fall off, causing a crash.
