WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the
respective system inspected immediately.
Check engine:If this light
illuminates while driving, it is a
possible indication that one of the
engine’s emission control systems
has failed.
Check fuel cap:Illuminates when
the fuel cap may not be properly
installed. Continued driving with
this light on may cause the Check
Engine warning light to come on.
Brake system warning light:
Illuminates if the parking brake is
engaged or to indicate low brake
fluid level. To confirm the brake
system warning light is functional, it
will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON
position (alternatively for some vehicles when the ignition is moved from
the ON position to the START position, the light will momentarily
illuminate prior to reaching the START position).

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed before leaving the
assembly plant. If your vehicle is involved in an accident or if you have
problems fixing the alignment of your headlamps, have them checked by
a qualified service technician.

The headlamps on your vehicle can only be vertically adjusted. Your
vehicle does not require horizontal aim adjustments.
To adjust the headlamps:
1. Park your vehicle on a level
surface about 7.6 meters (25 feet)
away from a vertical plain surface
(3). Check your headlamp alignment
at night or in a dark area so that
you can see the headlamp beam
pattern.
•(1) Eight feet
•(2) Center height of lamp to
ground
•(3) Twenty-five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. The center of the headlamp has a 3.0 mm circle on the lens. Measure
the height from the center of your headlamp to the ground (2) and mark
a 2.4 meter (8 foot) long horizontal line on the plain surface (1) at this
height (masking tape work well).
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps.
The brightness part of the light
should be below the horizontal line
(4). If its above the line the
headlamp will need to be adjusted.
4. Open the hood.
