Headlights
Headlight Aiming
Your vehicle has a mini-quad headlight
system. These headlights have vertical
and horizontal indicators. When the
headlights are properly installed and
adjusted, and the vehicle is on level
ground, both indicators will read in the
center of the gage. If they do not, you can
adjust the aim.
A
To adjust the aim of your headlights:
1. Move your vehicle to a level surface.
Use a spirit level to be sure. Be sure
to remove any items that are not part
of your original equipment from the
trunk and passenger areas.
No one
should be seated in the vehicle and
your fuel tank should be about half
full. Check to be sure your tires are
at the correct pressure. There
are four headlights. Each one
has its own vertical and horizontal
aim position indicator. Each indicator
has its own aiming screw.

Pull the headlight out of the assembly.
Remove
the wiring connector from the
headlight socket by lifting the plastic
locking tabs on the connector and
pulling it from the socket.
Check
the new headlight again. The
number on
the light must match the
number on
the headlight being
replaced. The letter,
“U” or “L,”
must also match.
Plug the wiring connector into the
headlight socket. Snap the locking
tabs onto the socket.

Place the new headlight in the
headlight assembly. The socket must
be pointing
in the same direction the
socket on the burned out bulb was.
Insert the tabs on the aiming ring into
the slots in the headlight assembly.
Hold the aiming ring closed, insert the
screws at the end of the ring. Tighten
the screws
until the aiming ring
touches the plastic nuts on both the
top and bottom.
Do not overtighten.
Do not damage the vertical aiming
bubble.
. ..
9. Check the headlight aim indicators.
The horizontal indicator (A) should be
on
0 (zero). If the vehicle is level, the
vertical indicator
(B) should also be
on 0 (zero). If the vehicle isn’t level,
check the vertical aim on a level
surface as soon as you can. If either
indicator doesn’t read
“0,” adjust the
headlight aim. See “Adjusting
Headlight Aim”
in the Index.
If your vehicle
is damaged in an accident
and the headlight aim seems to be
affected, see your Chevrolet dealer.
Headlights on damaged vehicles may
require recalibration
of the horizontal aim
by your Chevrolet dealer.

Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
There are
two fuse centers on your
vehicle. One is
in the left side of your
instrument panel.
The other is in the engine compartment.
Open the cover on either of the boxes to
expose the fuses.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the
fuse. If the band
is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a
bad fuse with a new one
of the correct
size.
If you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
borrow one
of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you can
get along without
- like the radio or
cigarette lighter
- and use its fuse, if it is
the size you need. Replace
it as soon as
you can.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker.
An electrical overload will
cause the lights to go on and off, or in
some cases to remain
off. If this happens,
have your headlight wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.,
the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some
electrical problem and not snow, etc., be
sure to get it fixed.

Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power
windows and other power accessories.
When the current load is
too heavy, the
circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit
until the problem is
fixed or goes away.
