Headlight
Adjustment
Befole adiusting the headlights:
a Park the car on level ground.
a Make sure the fuel tank is full.
The driver or someone who weighs the same should
sit in the driver's seat.
Load the trunk with the items you usually carry (if you
usually pull a trailer, attach jt to the car).
Push down on the front and rear bumpers several
times to make sure the car is sitting normally.
When installing a new headlight assembly, tighten the
four mounting bolts so that the indicator in the verti-
cal gauge comes to the "O" mark.
HORIZONTAL ANGLEGAUGE
HORIZONTALADJUSTER
'1. Open the hood.
2. Check that both the horizontal and vertical gauge
rcad "O" .
a lf the gauges tead "O", check headlight aiming
with the aiming charts on page 23-171. (lf aiming
isn't correct. refer to the frame repair chart in
section 20).
a lf one or both gauges don't read "O", go to step
23-170
3. Turn the low beams on. lf necessary, align the verti-
cal indicator with its "O" mark by turning the verti-
cal adjuster with a Phillips screwdriver, and check
aiming with the chan on page 23-171.
lf necessary, align the horizontal indicator with its"O" mark by turning the horizontal adjuster with a
Phillips screwdriver, and check aiming with the
chart on page 23-171.
5.Recheck that the vertical indicator bubble is aligned
with "0" t 1.
lf necessary, adjust as described in step 3.
Turn the high beams on and check aiming with the
charts on page 23-171.
How To Use This Manual
Symbols
Ground - "G"
This symbol means the end of
the wire is attached (grounded) Ito the car frame or to a metal Ipart connected to the f rame. \I orol
,
Each wire ground (G) ," -/numbered for reference.
Q,(Switches
These switches move
together; the broken straight
line between them means thev
are mechanically connected.
Other types of switches are
controlled by a coil or a solid
state circuit. Unless otherwise
noted, all switches are shown
in their normal (rest) position,
with power off .
This ground symbol (dot
and 3 lines) overlapping the
component means the housing
of the component is grounded
to the car f rame or to a metal
part connected to the f rame.
This symbol represents
the bus bar inside a ground
connector. The dots a

The ground symbol (large dot)
: Gsoo
is the connection between the
bus bar and metal (grounded)
part of the car.
Terminals - "T"

ffi
Solid-state
Fuses
This means power is supplied
when the ignition switch is in ON (ll).
Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one
way valve. lt allows current to
flow only in the dlrection of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse
currenl at normal voltages just like
a rectifier diode. At high voltages,
however, a Zener diode allows
current to flow in reverse.
Q,(
Each 'T" terminal (ring type)
is numbered for reference ano
location. A "T" terminal is
secured with a screw or bolt.
Shielding
This represents RFI
(Radio Frequency
Interf erence) shielding
around a wire. The
shielding is always
connected to ground.
