or the headlamp switch, whichever is provided. The system will not turn
off the parking lamps if the headlamp control is in the PARK position.

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 your authorized dealer.
You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to make the adjustments.
Vertical aim adjustment

ground
•(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the
center of your headlamp to the
ground and mark an 8 foot
(2.4 meter) 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 0.5 mm circle on the headlamp lens.
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 high
intensity flat segments at the top
edge of the pattern. If the flat edges
are not at the horizontal reference
line, the beam will need to be
adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp, then usea#2
Phillips screwdriver to turn the
adjuster either counterclockwise (to
adjust up) or clockwise (to adjust
down) positioning the horizontal
edge of the high intensity light on
the horizontal reference line.

Cargo lamp
The cargo lamp will stay on if the
control is moved to the driver side
position. When the control is in the
middle position, the lamp will only
come on when a door is opened. If
the control is moved to the
passenger’s side position, the lamp
will not come on at all.
With the ignition key in the ACCESSORY or ON position, the rear cargo
lamp can be turned ON or OFF by sliding the control.
BULB REPLACEMENT
Headlamp Condensation
The headlamps are vented to equalize pressure. When moist air enters
the headlamp(s) through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur. This condensation is normal and will clear
within 45 minutes of headlamp operation.
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 and an
“E” for Europe to ensure 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.
