Headlights leveling switch
(if so equipped)
N00542800038
The direction of the headlight beam (the direction which the
light shines in) 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 light switch to the “ ”
position, then turn the headlight leveling switch knob to lower
the beam. The greater the number 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.
NOTE
Start adjusting when the knob is at the “0” position (when
the beam is at its highest).

Keep the knob in the “0” position except when using the
knob to lower the headlight beam angle.

Always return the knob to the “0” position when the load
is removed and the people have left the vehicle.
WA R N I N G
!
To avoid distraction while driving, always perform
headlight adjustments before vehicle operation.

the turn signal lights and the indicator light in the instrument
cluster will flash three times.

out turn signal light bulb or malfunctioning connection in
the signal.

moved, check for a blown fuse or a burned out bulb in the
panel.
