Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has one upward (for right) and one
downward (for left) positions, which allow you to signal
a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is nished, the lever returns automatically
to the original position.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster ashes in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, slightly raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash and release the lever.
The turn signal ashes automatically three times.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
ash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers will not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-90and for burned-out bulbs.

Headlamp Aiming
The headlamp aiming system has been preset at the
factory.
If the vehicle is damaged in an accident, the aim of the
headlamps may be affected and adjustment may be
necessary.
It is recommended that a dealer/retailer adjust the
headlamps. To re-aim the headlamps yourself, use
the following procedure.
The vehicle should be properly prepared as follows:
The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps are
25 ft. (7.6 m) from a light colored wall.
The vehicle must have all four tires on a level
surface which is level all the way to the wall.
The vehicle should be placed so it is perpendicular
to the wall or other at surface.
The vehicle should not have any snow, ice, or mud
on it.
The vehicle should be fully assembled and all
other work stopped while headlamp aiming is
being performed.
The vehicle should be normally loaded with a full
tank of fuel and one person or 160 lbs (75 kg) sitting
on the driver’s seat.
Tires should be properly inated.Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle’s low-beam
headlamps. The high-beam headlamps will be correctly
aimed if the low-beam headlamps are aimed properly.
To adjust the vertical aim, do the following:
1. Open the hood. SeeHood Release on page 5-11
for more information.
2. Locate the aim dot on the lens of the low-beam
headlamp.
3. Measure the distance from the ground to the aim
dot on the low-beam headlamp. Record the
distance.
