VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
Your vehicle is fitted with eitherVOR(conventional halogen) orVOL
(High Intensity Discharge - HID) headlamps. The adjustment procedure
depends on the type of headlamps that are equipped on your vehicle.
VORorVOLis marked on the bottom of the headlampin the center of
the lamp. Please check the lens markings prior to adjusting the vehicle
aim.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet)
from a vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.
•(1) Eight feet
•(2)VOR– Measurement of the center height of lampto ground
VOL– Subtract 50 mm’s (2 inches) from the measurement of the
center height of the lampto ground
•(3) Twenty-five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line

2.VOR:Measure the height from
the center of your headlampto the
ground and mark a 2.4 meter (8
foot) horizontal reference line on
the vertical wall or screen at this
height (a piece of masking tape
works well). The center of the lamp
is marked by a 3.0 mm circle on the
headlamplens.
VOL:Measure the height from the
center of your headlampto the
ground, subtract 50 mm’s, (2.1 inches), and mark a 2.4 meter (8 foot)
horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen at this height (a
piece of masking tape works well). The center of the lamp is marked by
a 3.0 mm circle on the headlamplens.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge of high
intensity with a slight angle towards
the right. If this is not at the
horizontal reference line, the beam
will need to be adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster in
each headlamp, then use a 4 mm
socket/wrench to turn the adjuster
either counterclockwise (to adjust
down) or clockwise (to adjust up)
aligning the upper edge of the light
pattern up to the horizontal line.
6. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT
REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE
AND IS NON-ADJUSTABLE.
7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.

Replacing headlamp bulbs
To remove the headlamps from the vehicle to change the HIGH BEAM
bulb:
1. Make sure the headlampswitch is
in the OFF position, then open the
hood.
2. Remove the plastic radiator cover
over the headlamps by grasping the
rear edge of the cover and pulling
upand toward you. This will
disengage the four snap-on
attachment of the cover. Set the
cover aside.
3. Pry back the topcorner of the
radiator cover to gain access to the
inner retaining pins. At the back of
the headlamp, pry up and remove
the two retainer pins to release the
headlampassembly from the vehicle
and pull headlamp forward.
4. Disconnect the electrical
connector by pulling downward.
5. Rotate the high beam bulb
counterclockwise until the tabs on
the bulb line upwith the ring, and
the bulb can be removed by pulling
rearward.
To install the new bulb:
Handle a halogen headlampbulb carefully and keepout of
children’s reach. Graspthe bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are operated.

1. Push the bulb straight in,
carefully aligning the plastic tabs in
the base of the bulb with the
openings in the plastic ring.
2. Rotate the bulb clockwise until it
stops.
3. Reconnect the electrical
connector to the bulb.
4. Install the headlampon the
vehicle by aligning the four plastic projections into the four holes,
pushing rearward to seat the lamp assembly.
5. Insert the two retainers, making sure that the retainers go over both
plastic projections on each side of the lamp, pushing the retainers down
until they seat.
6. Replace the plastic radiator cover by inserting the edge of the cover
into the tongue and groove of the mating cover, and then rotating the
cover downward. Press firmly on the cover over each headlampand in
the center of the cover to re-engage the snapin fasteners.
7. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work properly. If the
headlampwas correctly aligned before you changed the bulb, you should
not need to align it again.
If a low beam headlamp bulb fails, take your vehicle to your
dealer or a qualified service technician to have it replaced.
Replacing HID headlamp bulbs (if equipped)
The low beam headlamps on your vehicle use a “high intensity discharge”
source. These lamps operate at a high voltage. The bulb is NOT
replaceable. When the bulb is burned out, the bulb assembly must be
replaced by your dealer or a qualified technician.
