Autolamp exit time delay, manual sequence
This option allows you to change the length of the autolamp exit delay.
To program the auto lamp exit time delay:
1. Start with the ignition in OFF and the autolamps selected.
2. Deselect the auto lamps.
3. Put the ignition on RUN.
4. Put the ignition in OFF.
5. Select the autolamps.
•NOTE:Steps 2 through 5 must be performed within a 10 second
period.
•At this point, the headlamps and park lamps will turn on.
6. Deselect the auto lamps after the desired auto lamp delay time
(maximum of 3 minutes).
•At this point, the headlamps and park lamps will turn off.
The default for autolampexit delay time is 20 seconds. Following a
vehicle battery disconnect/reconnect auto lampdelay exit time will be
retained.
Autolamp exit time delay, message center sequence
This option allows you to change the length of time of the autolamp exit
delay using the message center. You will have the ability to change the
autolampexit delay time of the autolampON time when the instrument
cluster (IC) message center is enabled (ignition in run or accessory
position).
There are 8 distinct and separate set points or values for auto lamp delay
exit time in seconds. The following are predefined set points or auto
lampexit delay time values: 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, seconds (i.e.
0 to 3 minutes).
The following steps are used to program the autolamp exit time delay
using the message center:
1. The message center will display the last autolamp exit delay time in
seconds.
2. You can respond to this message by 1 of 4 methods:
•No Response- The message center then times out after 4 seconds
and displays it’s normal text information.
•Press the info button- The message center then displays its normal
text information.

•Press the setup button- The message center then displays the next
menu selection in its list. (6)
•Press the reset button- The message center then proceeds to the
next sequence/step(3) below.
•The message center sends/issues the “AutolampDelay Command” to
the body security module (BSM).
•The body security module responds within 100 milliseconds with next
auto lampexit delay time.
3. Next sequence/stepnumber is one (1) steps 1,2,3,4 & 5 are repeated
until exit via step2.
4. The message center displays the next menu selection.
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns the headlamps on with a reduced output. To activate:
•the ignition must be in the ON position and
•the headlamp control is in the OFF or Parking lamps position
•the parking brake must be disengaged.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) System
does not activate your tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
High beams
Push the lever toward the
instrument panel to activate. Pull
the lever towards you to deactivate.

PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlampand parklampoperation.
Move the control to the full upright
position, past detent, to turn on the
interior lamps.
Move the control to the full down
position, past detent, to prevent the
interior lights from illuminating
when the doors are opened.
VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
Your vehicle is fitted with eitherVOR(conventional halogen) orVOL
(High Intensity Discharge - HID) headlamps. The adjustment procedure
depends on the type of headlamps that are equipped on your vehicle.
VORorVOLis marked on the bottom of the headlampin the center of
the lamp. Please check the lens markings prior to adjusting the vehicle
aim.
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.
•(1) Eight feet
•(2)VOR– Measurement of the center height of lampto ground
VOL– Subtract 50 mm’s (2 inches) from the measurement of the
center height of the lampto ground
•(3) Twenty-five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line

2.VOR:Measure the height from
the center of your headlampto 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
headlamplens.
VOL:Measure the height from the
center of your headlampto the
ground, subtract 50 mm’s, (2.1 inches), 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 headlamplens.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge of high
intensity with a slight angle towards
the right. If this is not at the
horizontal reference line, the beam
will need to be adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster in
each headlamp, then use a 4 mm
socket/wrench to turn the adjuster
either counterclockwise (to adjust
down) or clockwise (to adjust up)
aligning the upper edge of the light
pattern up to the horizontal line.
6. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT
REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE
AND IS NON-ADJUSTABLE.
7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.

be turned ON or OFF by sliding the control.
BULBS
Replacing exterior bulbs
Check the operation of all the bulbs frequently.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America to assure
lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe visibility. The
correct bulbs will not damage the lampassembly or void the lamp
assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.

Replacing headlamp bulbs
To remove the headlamps from the vehicle to change the HIGH BEAM
bulb:
1. Make sure the headlampswitch is
in the OFF position, then open the
hood.
2. Remove the plastic radiator cover
over the headlamps by grasping the
rear edge of the cover and pulling
upand toward you. This will
disengage the four snap-on
attachment of the cover. Set the
cover aside.
3. Pry back the topcorner of the
radiator cover to gain access to the
inner retaining pins. At the back of
the headlamp, pry up and remove
the two retainer pins to release the
headlampassembly from the vehicle
and pull headlamp forward.
4. Disconnect the electrical
connector by pulling downward.
5. Rotate the high beam bulb
counterclockwise until the tabs on
the bulb line upwith the ring, and
the bulb can be removed by pulling
rearward.
To install the new bulb:
Handle a halogen headlampbulb carefully and keepout of
children’s reach. Graspthe bulb only by its plastic 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.

1. Push the bulb straight in,
carefully aligning the plastic tabs in
the base of the bulb with the
openings in the plastic ring.
2. Rotate the bulb clockwise until it
stops.
3. Reconnect the electrical
connector to the bulb.
4. Install the headlampon the
vehicle by aligning the four plastic projections into the four holes,
pushing rearward to seat the lamp assembly.
5. Insert the two retainers, making sure that the retainers go over both
plastic projections on each side of the lamp, pushing the retainers down
until they seat.
6. Replace the plastic radiator cover by inserting the edge of the cover
into the tongue and groove of the mating cover, and then rotating the
cover downward. Press firmly on the cover over each headlampand in
the center of the cover to re-engage the snapin fasteners.
7. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work properly. If the
headlampwas correctly aligned before you changed the bulb, you should
not need to align it again.
If a low beam headlamp bulb fails, take your vehicle to your
dealer or a qualified service technician to have it replaced.
Replacing HID headlamp bulbs (if equipped)
The low beam headlamps on your vehicle use a “high intensity discharge”
source. These lamps operate at a high voltage. The bulb is NOT
replaceable. When the bulb is burned out, the bulb assembly must be
replaced by your dealer or a qualified technician.
