ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
Vertical Aim Adjustment
If your vehicle has been involved in a crash,
have the aim of the headlamp beam
checked by an authorized dealer.

Vertical Aim Adjustment Procedure
1. Park your vehicle on level ground approximately 25 ft (7.6 m) from a wall
or screen.
2. Measure the distance from the ground
to the center of the headlamp low
beam bulb and mark an
8 ft (2.4 m)
long horizontal reference line on the
wall or screen at this height. Note:
There may be an identifying mark on
the lens to help you locate the center of the
bulb.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern while
adjusting one headlamp, you may want to
block the light from the other headlamp.
3. Switch on the low beam headlamps and open the hood. 4. On the wall or screen you will observe
a flat zone of high intensity light
located at the top of the beam pattern.
If the top edge of the flat zone of high
intensity light is not on the horizontal
reference line, adjust the aim of the
headlamp beam.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Use a suitable tool, for
example a screwdriver or hexagonal
socket, to turn the adjuster clockwise
or counterclockwise to adjust the
vertical aim of the headlamp. The
horizontal edge of the brighter light
should touch the horizontal reference
line.
6. Close the hood and switch off the lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
The horizontal aim of the headlamp beam
on your vehicle is not adjustable. REMOVING A HEADLAMP WARNING: Switch all of the lamps
and the ignition off. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious personal
injury.
1. Open the hood. See Opening and
Closing the Hood (page 229). 2. Remove the screws.
3. Pull the headlamp toward the front of
your vehicle to disengage it from its
locating points and then lift the
headlamp up.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER - 3.2L POWER STROKE
DIESEL
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
vehicle damage and personal burn
injuries, do not start your engine with the
air cleaner removed and do not remove
it while the engine is running.
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The vehicle warranty may be void
for any damage to the engine if the correct
air filter element is not used.
Note: After operating the vehicle up to
200 mi (320 km)
in heavy snowfall, we
recommend that you open the hood at the
earliest opportunity and clear the snow and
ice from air filter housing. Do not remove the
foam filter. The foam filter must be in place
at all times.
Only use the specified air filter.
See
Capacities and Specifications (page
307).
Change the air filter element and foam
filler at the proper interval. See Scheduled
Maintenance
(page 464). 1. Disconnect the mass air flow sensor
electrical connector and cable from
the air filter cover.
2. Clean the area around the air tube to air filter cover connection to prevent
debris from entering the system and
then loosen the bolt on the air tube
clamp so the clamp is no longer snug
to the air tube. It is not necessary to
completely remove the clamp. Pull the
air tube off from the air filter cover.
3. Release the clamps that secures the air filter cover to the air filter housing. 255
