HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
The low beam headlamp will project on the screen
upper edge of the beam (cut-off) at the horizontal
lamp centerline   50 mm (2 in.). Horizontal aim is
preset and can not be adjusted. The high beam pat-
tern should be correct when the low beams are
aligned properly (Fig. 19). To adjust headlamp verti-
cal alignment, rotate adjustment screw to achieve the
specified low beam cut-off location.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HEADLAMP UNIT
ALIGNMENT - EXPORT
HEADLAMP UNIT ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation.
(2) Verify that the headlamp leveling switch is in
the ª0º position.
(3) Inspect and correct damaged or defective com-
ponents that could interfere with proper headlamp
alignment.(4) Verify proper tire inflation.
(5) Clean headlamp lenses.
(6) Verify that luggage area is loaded as the vehi-
cle is routinely used.
(7) 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 PREPARATION
(1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicu-
lar to a flat wall 10 meters (32.8 ft.) away from front
of headlamp lens (Fig. 20).
(2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 10 meters
(32.8 ft.) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times and allow
suspension to stabilize.
(4) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(5) 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.
HEADLAMP UNIT ADJUSTMENT
The low beam headlamp will project on the screen
upper edge of the beam (cut-off) at the horizontal
lamp centerline   20 mm (0.75 in.). The high beam
pattern should be correct when the low beams are
aligned properly (Fig. 21). To adjust headlamp align-
ment, rotate adjustment screws to achieve the speci-
fied low beam cut-off location.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the three retaining screws (Fig. 22).
(3) Disconnect the wiring harness from the bulbs
(Fig. 23).
(4) Remove wire harness retainer from back of

MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
DESCRIPTION - TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
The turn signals are actuated with a lever on
Multi-Function Switch, located on the left side of the
steering wheel. The signals are automatically turned
off by a canceling cam (two lobes molded to the clock
spring mechanism). The cam comes in contact with
the cancel actuator on the turn signal (multi-func-
tion) switch assembly. Either cam lobe, pushing on
the cancel actuator, returns the switch to the OFF
position. The multi-function switch is a resistive
MUX switch that feeds inputs to the BCM.
OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
Lane change signaling is actuated by applying par-
tial turn signal stalk movement toward the direction
desired until the indicator lamps flashes in the
instrument cluster. When the switch stalk is released
the stalk will spring back into the neutral position
turning OFF the turn signal.
With the ignition switch ON and the turn signal
switch stalk actuated left or right, current flows
through the:
²Multi-function switch
²Body Control Module
²Integrated Power Module (IPM)
²Turn indicator lamp
²Front and rear turn signal bulbs.
A chime will sound after the vehicle has traveled a
distance of approximately 1.0 mile and a speed of 15
mph, with the turn signal ON.
