Replacing exterior bulbs
Check the operation of the following lamps frequently:
²Headlamps
²Foglamps
²High-mount brakelamp
²Brakelamps
²Turn signals
²License plate lamp
²Tail lamps
²Back-up lamps
Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they can be replaced immediately with
new ones. If a bulb is removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the lamp housings and affect lamp performance.

2. Open the hood.
3. Press two tabs and disconnect the
electrical connector from the bulb.
Maintenance and care
235

4. Remove the rubber boot from the
lamp assembly by pulling on one of
the tabs.
5. Press the retainer spring forward
and spread the spring releasing it
from bulb hooks and rotate it away
from the bulb.
6. Without turning, carefully pull
bulb out of headlamp assembly.
Handle a halogen headlamp
bulb carefully and keep out
of children's reach. Grasp the bulb
only by its metal base and do not
touch the glass. The oil from your
hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the
headlamps are operated.
Note:The bulb's metal base gets very hot during headlamp operation.
Be sure the bulb base is cool before handling.
If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with rubbing
alcohol before being used.
Maintenance and care
236

7. Insert the glass end of the new bulb into the headlamp assembly.
When the bulb's three metal tabs are aligned with the grooves in the
plastic base, push the bulb into the lamp assembly until the bulb's metal
base contacts the plastic base.
8. Rotate the retainer spring over the bulb metal base and secure it on
the bulb hooks.
9. Install rubber boot on the lamp assembly. Be sure to press firmly
around the perimeter of the boot and around the bulb to ensure the
proper seal of the bulb.
10. Connect the electrical connector into the rear of the bulb until it
ªsnaps.º
Replacing brake/tail/turn/backup/rear fog lamp bulbs
The brake/tail/turn/backup/rear fog lamp bulbs are located in the tail
lamp assembly, one just below the other. Follow the same steps to
replace either bulb:
1. Open the liftgate to expose the
lamp assemblies.
2. Remove the two screws from the
lamp assembly.
3. Carefully remove the lamp
assembly by pulling it rearward to
disengage snap features on the
outward side of the lamp.
4. Twist the bulb socket
counterclockwise and remove from
lamp assembly.
Maintenance and care

USING THE RIGHT BULBS
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized ªD.O.T.º for North America and an
ªEº for Europe to assure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn
time.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by a qualified service technician.
VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet)
from a vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.
²(A) Eight feet
²(B) Center height of lamp to ground
²(C) Twenty five feet
²(D) Horizontal reference line

2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the ground
and mark a 2.4 meter (8 foot) horizontal reference line on the vertical
wall or screen at this height (a piece of masking tape works well). The
center of the lamp is marked by a 3.0 mm circle on the headlamp lens.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood. Cover the left-hand headlamp with an opaque cloth.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge of high
intensity light towards the right. If
this edge is not at the horizontal
reference line, the beam will need to
be adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
the headlamp, then usea7mmhex
socket or T20 Torx driver to turn the adjuster either counterclockwise
(to adjust down) or clockwise (to adjust up) aligning the upper edge of
the light pattern to the horizontal line.
6. Move the opaque cloth to cover the right-hand headlamp and repeat
steps 4 and 5 for the left-hand headlamp.
7. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NON-ADJUSTABLE.
8. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
