AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD)
on each headlamp body. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the
horizontal direction (left/right) and the vertical position (up/down).
A non-zero bubble reading does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim
headlamps. If your vehicle is not positioned on a level surface, the slope
will be included in the level indicator. Therefore, vertical headlamp
adjustment should be performed only when beam direction appears to be
incorrect.
The horizontal aim must be adjusted first. You will need one 4 mm
wrench or socket to make the adjustments.
If the vehicle has been in an accident, the vehicle's front structure
should be properly aligned before aiming the headlamps.
Horizontal aim adjustment
1. Park the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. With the hood open, remove the
protective cover, then locate the
horizontal indicator and the
adjusting screw.
3.Usea4mmwrench or socket to
turn the horizontal adjusting screw
until the end of the shaft within the
clear tube lines up with the ª0º
reference mark on the indicator
when viewed directly from above.

Vertical aim adjustment

or down) of the vertical aim.
4.Usea4mmwrench or socket to
turn the vertical adjusting screw
until the bubble is below the ª0º
mark position when viewed directly
from above.
5. Install protective cover.
When the horizontal and vertical indicators are set to the ª0º mark, the
headlamp has been properly aimed.

Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they will be replaced immediately. If a
bulb is removed for an extended period of time, contaminants may enter
the lamp housings and affect performance.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized ªD.O.T.º for North America and an
ªEº for Europe to assure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn
time.

four tabs and remove the protective
cover from the headlamps.
3. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by pulling
rearward.

lamp assembly.
To install the new bulb:
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of

not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are operated.
1. Install the new bulb in lamp assembly by pushing straight in and
turning to lock in position. You may need to turn the bulb slightly to
align the grooves in the plastic base with the tabs in the lamp assembly.
2. Connect the electrical connector to the bulb.
3. Install the protective cover and secure with four tabs.

MIRRORS
Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from
the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach
the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it
will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
impair proper mirror performance.

STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. LOCK, locks the gearshift lever
(automatic transmission only) and
allows key removal.
2. OFF, shuts off the engine and all
accessories without locking the
steering wheel (if equipped). This
position also allows the automatic
transmission shift lever to be moved
from the P (Park) position without
the brake pedal being depressed.
3. ACCESSORY, allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to
operate while the engine is not running.
4. RUN, all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key
position when driving.
5. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system. This
system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio
noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator
before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have
difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the
vehicle, refer toStarting the enginein this chapter.
Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk
of fire or other damage.
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
