lamp assembly has to be removed
as follows:
1. Switch off the lamps.
2. Open the hood.
3. Remove the lower screw (2)
from the headlamp housing.
4. Remove the two upper screws

5. Gently pull the headlamp
housing outward.
6. Replace the headlamp bulbs.
BULB REPLACEMENT
Handle a halogen headlamp

hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the
headlamps are operated.

Install in the reverse order.
Headlamps Ð low beam
Disconnect the electrical connector
and replace the bulb.
Do not touch the glass part of the
bulb and pay attention to the tab
guides when replacing.

Maintenance and care

Aiming the headlamps
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device
(VHAD) on each headlamp body.
Each headlamp may be properly
aimed in the horizontal direction
(left/right) and the vertical
direction (up/down).
A non-zero bubble reading (vertical
indicator) does not necessarily
indicate out-of-aim headlamps. If
your vehicle is not positioned on a
level surface, the slope will be
included in the vertical indication.
Therefore, vertical and horizontal
headlamp adjustment should be
performed only when beam
direction appears to be incorrect.
AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
The alignment of your headlamps
should be checked if:
¥ Oncoming motorists frequently
signal you to deactivate your high
beams, and your high beams are
not activated.
¥ The headlamps do not seem to
provide enough light for clear night
vision.
¥ The headlamp beams are pointed
substantially away from a slightly
down and to the right position.
