Autolamp control (if equipped)
The autolamp system provides light
sensitive automatic on-off control of
the exterior lights normally
controlled by the headlamp control.
The autolamp system also keeps the
lights on for a fixed period of time
after the ignition switch is turned to
OFF.
•To turn autolamps on, rotate the
control counterclockwise.
•To turn autolamps off, rotate the control clockwise to OFF.
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns the lowbeam headlamps on with a reduced output. To activate:
•the key must be in the ON position,
•the headlamp control is in the OFF, parking lamps or autolamp

•and the transmission must be out of PARK.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) System

adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by a qualified service technician.
You will need one #2 Phillips screwdriver to make the adjustments.
Vertical aim adjustment
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) Center height of lamp to
ground
•(3) Twenty five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to 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 0.5 mm circle on the headlamp lens.
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 high
intensity flat segments at the top
edge of the pattern. If the flat edges
are not at the horizontal reference
line, the beam will need to be
adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp, then use a No. 2
Phillips screwdriver to turn the adjuster either counterclockwise (to
adjust up) or clockwise (to adjust down) positioning the horizontal edge
of the high intensity light on the horizontal reference line.

control is moved to the driver side
position. When the control is in the
middle position, the lamp will only

will not come on at all.
With the ignition key in the ACC or ON position, the rear cargo lamp can
be turned ON or OFF by sliding the control.
BULBS

Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized“D.O.T.”for North America and an
“E”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.

Replacing headlamp bulbs
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in the OFF position, then open the hood.
2. Remove the two retainer pins to
release the headlamp assembly and
pull headlamp assembly forward to
expose the back of the bulb.

connector from the bulb by pulling
rearward and unlock the bulb by
rotating it counterclockwise.
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of
children’s reach. Grasp the 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.
