headlights CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE 2008 1.G User Guide

NOTE:Always test the operation of all lights after
service operations have been performed to validate an
effective repair.Headlight Aiming
The headlights on your new vehicle were aimed at the
factory. The factory setting was made at a no load setting.
A great increase in weight will change the aiming and it
may be necessary to readjust the headlights if carrying an
excessive amount of weight in the rear cargo area. To
readjust the headlights first mark the position of the
headlights on a wall prior to loading the vehicle. Load
the vehicle and then readjust the headlights to the
original position. If any further adjustments are neces-
sary contact your manufacturer's dealer. A detailed ser-
vice procedure is contained in the manufacturer's Service
Manual. Information on purchasing a Service Manual can
be found at the back of this Owner's Manual.
