Headlamp Aiming
Your vehicle has a headlamp system equipped with
horizontal and vertical aim indicators. The aim has been
pre
-set at the factory and should need no further
adjustment. This is true even though your vertical and
horizontal aim indicators may not fall exactly on the ª0º
(zero) marks on their scales.
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the headlamp
aim may be affected. Aim adjustment may be necessary
if it is difficult to see lane markers (for horizontal aim),
or if oncoming drivers flash their high beams at you (for
vertical aim). If you believe your headlamps need to be
re
-aimed, we recommend that you take it to your dealer
for service; however, it is possible for you to re
-aim
your headlamps as described in the following procedure.

/Relay Center
It's easy to check the fuses in this underhood relay
center. There are two locking arms on either side of the
base of the cover. Reach down and unsnap each one by
pulling the cover toward you, then pushing it away
while pulling up. Remove the cover. The inside of the
cover has a chart that explains the features and controls
governed by each fuse and relay.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage
caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver
-colored band inside the fuse. If
the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be
sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the
correct amp rating.
Two spare fuses are located below the fuse puller. You'll
also find spare fuses in the slots labeled ªSpareº in the
following charts.
There are three main fuse panels: the instrument panel
fuse block and two (driver's side and passenger's side)
rear compartment fuse blocks.
