A: SPECIFICATION
B: CAUTION
•Before removing or installing parts, always disconnect the battery ground cable from battery. When replac-
ing the audio, control module and other parts provided with memory functions, record the memory contents
before disconnecting the battery ground cable. Otherwise, the memory is cleared.
•Reassemble the parts in the reverse order of disassembly procedure unless otherwise indicated.
•Adjust parts to the given specifications.
•Connect the connectors securely during reassembly.
•After reassembly, make sure functional parts operate smoothly.
WARNING:
•The air bag system wiring harness is routed near electrical parts and switches. Airbag system
wiring harnesses and connectors are yellow. Do not use electrical test equipment on these cir-
cuits.
•Be careful not to damage the air bag system wiring harness when servicing electrical parts and
switches.

C: ADJUSTMENT
1. HEADLIGHT AIMING
NOTE:
Aiming of this headlight can be adjusted only in the
vertical direction. It cannot be adjusted in the hori-
zontal direction.
CAUTION:
Turn off the light before adjusting the headlight
beam level. If it is necessary to inspect the
beam level, do not turn on the lamp for more
than two minutes.
NOTE:
Before checking the headlight beam level, be sure
of the following:
•Check the area around the headlight for any
scratches, damage or other type of deformation.
•Make sure that the vehicle is parked on a level
surface.
•Make sure that the inflation pressure of tires are
correct.
•Check that the vehicle fuel tank is full.
1) Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize
the suspension.
2) Make certain that someone is seated in the driv-
er's seat.
