HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sen-
sitive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehi-
cle, for added visibility.
Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, unless the combination switch (lighting
switch) position is changed. If the combination switch (lighting switch) position is changed, then the headlamps
are turned off.
AUTO LIGHT OPERATION
Refer to LT- 4 8 , "System Description" for auto light operation.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (PANIC ALARM)
The vehicle security system (panic alarm) will flash the high beams if the system is triggered. Refer to BL-48,
"Panic Alarm Operation" .
CAN Communication System DescriptionEKS0079R
Refer to LAN-5, "CAN COMMUNICATION" .

4. Remove lock nut and bolt, then separate upper shaft from upper
joint.
5. Remove two nuts and two bolts, then remove steering column
assembly from steering member.
6. Remove hole cover seal and clamp.
7. Remove mounting nuts, then remove hole cover from dash panel.
8. Raise vehicle, then remove mounting bolt (lower side) of lower
joint shaft and remove lower joint shaft and upper shaft as an
assembly.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check for damage to steering column jacket tube. If damage is found, replace steering column with new
one.
If vehicle has been in a collision, check column length “L1” and
“L2” as shown. If out of specification, replace steering column
with new one.
Check for proper lubrication, apply grease as necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

ASSEMBLY
Assembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.
Install new tamper resistant self-shear screws.
INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
When the steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the steering column as follows:
1. Check the column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubricate with recommended multi-purpose
grease. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if necessary.
2. Check the column tube for deformation or breakage. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if nec-
essary.
3. If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, or if noise and rat-
tles are heard during a turn, check the length "L" of the column.
If out of specification, replace the steering column as an assem-
bly.
4. Check for proper lubrication, apply grease as necessary.
5. Check for wear around the seal edges, replace the steering col-
umn as an assembly as necessary.
6. Check for corrosion or pitting around the seal sliding area.
7. After installing the steering column, check the tilt mechanism for
proper operation.
CAUTION:
Replace the column if it is depleted of grease, worn, dam-
aged, or if any scratches or coating separation is present
on the shaft seal area.
During lower joint detachment, insert a tool into the yoke
groove to prevent gouging damage.

21. Install new boot clamps and crimp securely using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse boot clamps.
22. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
23. Install lock nut and outer socket to inner socket.
24. Tighten lightly tie-rod in specified length “L”, then tighten lock nut
at specified torque. Refer to PS-17, "
Disassembly and Assem-
bly" . Reconfirm if tie-rod length is within limit of specified length
“L”.
CAUTION:
Perform toe-in adjustment after this procedure. Length
achieved after toe-in adjustment is not necessarily the
value given here.Tool number : KV40107300 ( — )
