Except for vehicles with discharge headlampsThe angle of the headlamp beam varies depending upon the load carried by the vehicle. The headlamp levelling dial can
be used to adjust the headlamp
illumination distance (when the lower beam is illuminated) sothat the headlamps’ glare does
not distract other drivers.
Set the dial according to
the following table.
NOTE●
When adjusting the beam position, first put the dial in the “0” position (the highest beam position).
CAUTION
!●
Always perform adjustments before driving. Do not attempt to adjust while driving, as it could cause an accident.

Precautions to observe
when using wipers and
washers
E00507600027
●
If the moving wipers become blocked by ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor may burn out even if thewiper switch is turned to OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and clean the deposits from the gla
ss so that the wipers operate
smoothly.
●
Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry. They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prema-turely.
●
Before using the wipers in co
ld weather, check that the
wiper blades are not frozen onto the glass. The motor mayburn out if the wipers are used
with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
●
Avoid using the washer continuously for more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the wa
sher when the fluid reser-
voir is empty. Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
●
Periodically check the level of washer fluid in the reser- voir and refill if required. During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution
that will not freeze in the wash
er reservoir. Failure to do
so could result in loss of washer function and frost dam- age to the system components.
