Vertical Aim Adjustment
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.
2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp (indicated by a 3.0
millimeter circle on the lens) to the
ground and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter)
horizontal reference line on the vertical
wall or screen at this height (a piece of
masking tape works well).
Note: To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the light
from one headlamp while adjusting the
other.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open
the hood. Cover one of the headlamps
so no light hits the wall. 4.
For vehicles with halogen
headlamps: on the wall or screen you
will observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge toward the
right. If this edge is not at the horizontal
reference line, you will need to adjust
the beam so the edge is at the same
height as the horizontal reference line. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Use a #2 Phillips
screwdriver to turn the adjuster either
counterclockwise or clockwise in order
to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp.

6.
For vehicles with HID headlamps:
there is a distinct cut-off (change from
light to dark) in the left portion of the
beam pattern. Position the top edge of
this cut-off 2 inches (5 centimeters)
below the horizontal reference line. 7. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Use a Phillips #2
screwdriver to turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise to
adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp. The horizontal edge of the
brighter light should touch the
horizontal reference line.
8. Repeat Steps 3 through 7 to adjust the
other headlamp.
9. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this
vehicle and is not adjustable. REMOVING A HEADLAMP WARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb
carefully and keep out of children
’s
reach. Grasp the bulb only by its
plastic base and do not touch the glass.
The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the headlamps
are operated. Note:
If the bulb is accidentally touched,
clean it with rubbing alcohol before
installing it.
Note: This procedure is for replacing the
headlamps, park lamps, turn lamps or side
marker lamps.
Replacing Halogen Headlamp
Bulbs (If Equipped)
1. Make sure the headlamp control is in the off position and open the hood. 2.
Remove the pushpin that holds the air
deflector or protective cover to the
upper inboard corner of the lamp.
