GENERAL INFORMATION
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
The headlamps are equipped with a bubble level
for up/down headlamp alignment. The bubble is cen-
tered with the vehicle on a level surface. A horizontal
gauge and magnifying window is located next to the
bubble level for left/right alignment (Fig. 1). Aim on
every headlamp assembly is calibrated at the head-
lamp manufacturer. At the vehicle assembly plant,
the vertical aim is set by centering the bubble with
the vehicle on a level surface. Horizontal aim is con-
trolled by the mounting pads on each headlamp
mounting panel.
When the vehicle is to be used with a heavy load,
the bubble level can be used to compensate for the
altered ride height.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation.
(2) Inspect and correct damaged or defective com-
ponents that could interfere with proper headlamp
alignment.
(3) Verify proper tire inflation.
(4) Clean headlamp lenses.
(5) Verify that luggage area is loaded as the vehi-
cle is routinely used.
(6) Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5
lbs.) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated
gallon of missing fuel.

ALIGNMENT SCREEN
ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION
(1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicu-
lar to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft.) away from front
of headlamp lens (Fig. 2).
(2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62
meters (25 ft.) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) From the floor up 1.27 meters (5 ft.), tape a
line on the wall at the center line of the vehicle.
Sight along the center line of the vehicle (from rear
of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of the line
placement.
(4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times and allow
suspension to stabilize.
(5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(6) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for
up/down adjustment reference.
(7) Measure distance from the center line of the
vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each

side of vehicle center line. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project
the center of the low beam hot spot on the alignment
screen 229 mm (9 in.)650 mm (2 in.) below the
headlamp center line. The center of the hot spot
should be 100 mm (4 in.)650 mm (2 in.) right of the
headlamp center line (Fig. 2). The high beams on a
vehicle with aero headlamps cannot be aligned. The
high beam pattern should be correct when the low
beams are aligned properly.
To adjust headlamp alignment, rotate adjusting
screws to achieve the specified low beam hot spot
location (Fig. 3).
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT ± TOWN AND
COUNTRY
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project
the center of the low beam hot spot on the alignment
screen 152 mm (6 in.)650 mm (2 in.) below the
headlamp center line. The center of the hot spot
should be 254 mm (10 in.)650 mm (2 in.) right of
the headlamp center line (Fig. 4). The high beams on
a vehicle with aero headlamps cannot be aligned. Thehigh beam pattern should be correct when the low
beams are aligned properly.

To adjust headlamp alignment, rotate adjusting
screws to achieve the specified low beam hot spot
location (Fig. 3).
BUBBLE LEVEL CALIBRATION
(VERTICAL AIM)
After the headlamp alignment has been verified or
set and the bubble level is not centered, calibrate the
bubble level.
NOTE: Any calibration of the headlamp bubble
level must be done on a level surface and the head-
lamp cool. Do not operate the headlamps for a min-
imum of 20 minutes prior to beginning adjustments.
(1) Remove screws holding magnifying window to
top of headlamp module (Fig. 5).
(2) Position magnifying window to the side
between headlamp module and radiator closure
panel.
(3) Through slotted hole in magnifying window,
insert small screw driver into bubble level calibration
screw.(4) Rotate calibration screw in proper direction
until bubble is centered on the ªOº.
(5) Install magnifying window, making sure O-ring
seal is in place.
(6) If necessary, calibrate magnifying window.MAGNIFYING WINDOW CALIBRATION
(HORIZONTAL AIM)
After the headlamp alignment has been verified or
set and the magnifying window is not centered, cali-
brate the magnifying window.
(1) Loosen screws holding magnifying window to
top of headlamp module (Fig. 5).
(2) Using the calibration knob above headlamp
lens, rotate magnifying window until window is cen-
tered over the ªOº on the gauge below the window.

HEADLAMP LEVELING MOTOR
This vehicle is equipped with a remote headlamp
leveling system. This system allows the driver to
adjust the vertical headlamp aim from the interior of
the vehicle to compensate for passenger or cargo
load. A headlamp leveling switch is located in the
instrument panel and controls the headlamp leveling
motor found on the back of the headlamp module.

(5) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times and allow
suspension to stabilize.
(6) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(7) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for
up/down adjustment reference.
(8) Place a tape line 130 mm below and parallel to
the center of headlamp line.
(9) Measure distance from the centerline of the
vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference.HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project a
high intensity light pattern on the screen with the
horizontal cut-off line aligned with the tape line 130
mm (5.12 in.) below the headlamp centerline (Fig. 1).
The intersection of the horizontal and 15 degree cut-
off lines in the projected pattern should align to the
intersection of the headlamp centerline vertical tape
line and the tape line 130 mm (5.12 in.) below the
headlamp horizontal centerline. The high beams on a
vehicle with aero headlamps cannot be aligned. The
high beam pattern should be correct when the low
beams are aligned properly.
