headlamp Oldsmobile Aurora 1998 s Owner's Guide

If you find that the headlamp aiming needs adjustment,
follow these steps:
Start with the vertical headlamp aim. Don't try to adjust
the horizontal aim first. Adjustment screws can be
turned with
an E8 Torx@socket or T15 Torx screwdriver.
1. Check the vertical aim for each headlamp. The
vehicle must be parked on a level surface. Turn the
vertical aiming screw until the bubble in the level is
centered at
0 (zero).
i I
2. After the vertical aim is correct, check the horizontal
aim for each headlamp and adjust as necessary. Turn
the horizontal aiming screw until the pointer is lined
up with the
0 (zero).
3. Visually recheck the vertical aim, to make sure it is
still correct after the horizontal aim adjustment.
Readjust,
if necessary.

NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance and tire or tire
chain clearance to the body and chassis.
See “Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index for more
information.
Used Replacement Wheels
Putting
a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used or
how far it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause an accident. If you have to replace
a
wheel, use a new GM original equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
NOTICE:
Use tire chains only where legal and only when
you must. Use only
SAE Class “S” type chains
that are the proper size for your tires. Install
them on the front tires and tighten them as
tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain
manufacturer’s instructions. If you can hear the
chains contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten
them.
If the contact continues, slow down until it
stops. Driving too fast or spinning the wheels
with chains on will damage your vehicle.

Electrical System
Add-on Electrical EquiD: t
NOTICE:
~-
Don’t add anything electrical to your vehicle
unless you check with your retailer first. Some electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other components from working as
they should.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker
in the wiring harness.
An electrical overload will cause
the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain
off. If this happens, have your headlamp system checked
right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal
circuit breaker and a fuse
in the fuse panel on the other
side of the instrument panel.
If the motor overheats due
to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor
cools.
If the overload is caused by some electrical
problem, have it fixed.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anythng electrical
to your vehicle, see “Servicing
Your
Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle” in the Index.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load
is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
