Headlamp Aiming
Front Headlamp Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset and should
need no further adjustment.
If the vehicle is damaged in a crash, the
headlamp aim may be affected.
If adjustment to the headlamps is necessary,
see your dealer.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulbs,
or any bulb changing procedure not listed in
this section, contact your dealer.
Caution
Do not replace incandescent bulbs with
aftermarket LED replacement bulbs. This
can cause damage to the vehicle electrical
system.
High Intensity Discharge (HID)
Lighting
{Warning
The High Intensity Discharge (HID)
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 or a
qualified technician service them.
After an HID headlamp bulb has been
replaced, the beam might be a slightly
different shade than it was originally. This is
normal.
LED Lighting
This vehicle has several LED lamps. For
replacement of any LED lighting assembly,
contact your dealer.
Headlamps, Front Turn Signal,
and Sidemarker
The headlamp is either an HID or an LED.
See “High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting”
and “LED Lighting” earlier in this section.
