HEADLAMP CONTROL

lamps, instrument panel lamps,
license plate lamps and tail lamps.
Turns the headlamps on.
Autolamp control
The autolamp system provides light
sensitive automatic on-off control of
the exterior lights normally
controlled by the headlamp control.
•To turn autolamps on, rotate the
control counterclockwise to the
auto position.
•To turn autolamps off, rotate the
control clockwise to the off
position (O).
The autolamp system also keeps the lights on for a period of time after
the ignition switch is turned to OFF. The period of time that the lights
remain on is set at the factory but the time may be adjusted using the
sequence below.
Exit delay programming sequence
1. Start with the ignition in the RUN position and autolamps selected on
the headlight switch.
2. Turn the ignition to the OFF position. (This will start a 10 second
timer during which steps 3 through 6 must be completed.)
3. Turn the autolamps OFF.
4. Turn the ignition to the RUN position.
5. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
6. Turn the autolamps on (The park lamps and low beams will turn on.)

7. Turn the autolamps off after the desired delay time is reached. (The
maximum programmable delay is 3 minutes. The lights that turned on in
step 6 will turn off.)
High beams
Pull toward you until control stops
to activate. Repeat to deactivate.
Flash to pass
Pull toward you slightly to activate
and release to deactivate.
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns the highbeam headlamps on with a reduced output.
To activate with automatic transmission:
•the ignition must be in the RUN position;
•the headlamp control is in the OFF position, Parking lamps position,
or Autolamp position when the autolamp function has not turned on
the headlamps (daytime); and
•the transmission is out of Park.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) System
does not activate your tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.

1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.
•(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
•(2) VOL - subtract 2.1 inches (50
mm) from the measurement of
the center of the low beam lamp
to the ground.
•(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the ground
and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) horizontal reference line on the vertical
wall or screen 2.1 inches (50 mm) below this height (a piece of masking
tape works well). The center of the lamp is marked by a 3.0 mm circle
on the headlamp lens (use the low beam center mark).
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 flat
edges at the top of the beam
pattern. If the flat edges are not at
the horizontal reference line, the
beam will need to be adjusted.
To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block
the light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.
5. Remove the sight shield, locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp, then usea6mmsocket wrench or screwdriver to adjust the
headlamp up or down.
6. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NON-ADJUSTABLE.
7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
