Headlight leveling switch
(if so equipped)
N00537100088
The direction of the headlight beam (the direction in which the
light shines) alters according to the number of people and the
load in the vehicle. Lower the headlight angle if it is too high
due to the number of people and/or the load in the vehicle so
that the headlights’ glare does not distract the drivers of
approaching vehicles. First set the combination headlights and
dimmer switch to the “ ” position, then turn the headlight
leveling switch knob to lower the beam. The greater the num-
ber on the headlight leveling switch knob, the lower the beam
will point.
Set the switch to the appropriate position so that the headlight
beam is level with the road.
