Headlight aiming control (if so
equipped)Depending on the number of occupants in the
vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight
axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is
traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may
directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle
ahead or the windshield of the oncoming vehicle.
The light axis can be lowered with the operation
of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.
WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright
compared to conventional headlights. If
the xenon headlights hit the rearview
mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
shield of the oncoming vehicle, the
driver of these vehicles may have diffi-
culty driving because of the brightness.
Use the headlight aiming control switch
to lower the light axis. See earlier in this
section for information on xenon head-
lights.DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
