How to Disengage the Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic
locking mode and activate the vehicle
sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
Safety Belt Extension Assembly
WARNING
Do not use extensions to change the
fit of the shoulder belt across the
torso.
If the safety belt is too short when fully
extended, a safety belt extension assembly
can be obtained from an authorized dealer.
Use only extensions manufactured by the
same supplier as the safety belt.
Manufacturer identification is on a label
located either at the end of the webbing
or on the retractor behind the trim. Also,
use the safety belt extension only if the
safety belt is too short for you when fully
extended.
SEATBELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
Position the safety belt height
adjuster so that the belt rests across
the middle of your shoulder. Failure
to adjust the safety belt properly could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
and increase the risk of injury in a crash. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so
the belt rests across the middle of your
shoulder.
To adjust the shoulder belt height:
1. Press the button and slide the height
adjuster up or down.
2. Release the button and pull down on the height adjuster to make sure it is
locked in place.
SEATBELT WARNING LAMP
AND INDICATOR CHIME This lamp illuminates and an
audible warning will sound if the
driver's safety belt has not been
fastened when the vehicle's ignition is
turned on.

Note:
Make sure that the wiper blade locks
into place. Lower the wiper arm and blade
back on the windshield. The wiper arms will
automatically return to their normal position
when you turn the ignition on.
• Replace wiper blades at least once per
year for optimum performance.
• You can improve poor wiper quality by
cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
We properly aim the headlamps on your
vehicle at the assembly plant. If your
vehicle has been in an accident, have an
authorized dealed check the alignment of
your headlamps.
Vertical and Horizontal Aim
Adjustment (Sealed Beam
Headlamps)
Use the mechanical aimers on your vehicle
to aim the headlamps. If mechanical
aimers are used and the cross-car sight
line is in any way blocked, set the legs of
the universal adaptor all to the same
setting, such that the cross-car sight line
is no longer blocked (per the instructions
for the brand of mechanical aimer you are
using). You can also aim the headlamps
visually using the procedure below. 8 feet (2.4 meters).
A
Center height of lamp to ground.
B
25 feet (7.6 meters).
C
Horizontal reference line.
D
Vertical reference line for the
center of the headlamp.
E
Vertical reference line for the
center of the vehicle.
F
To adjust the headlamps:
1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) away from
a vertical plain surface. Check your
headlamp alignment at night or in a
dark area so that you can see the
headlamp beam pattern.
2. The center of the headlamp is marked
either on the lens (a circle or cross
marker) or on the bulb shield, internal
to the lamp (mark or feature). Measure
the height from the center of your
headlamp to the ground (B) and mark
an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal
line on the wall or screen (D) at this
height (masking tape works well).
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps and open the hood.

4. Locate the high intensity area of the
beam pattern and place the top edge
of the intensity zone even with the
horizontal reference line (D). If the top
edge of the high intensity area is not
even with the horizontal line, follow the
next step to adjust it. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster (A) for
each headlamp. Turn the adjuster
control either clockwise or
counterclockwise to adjust the vertical
aim of the headlamp.
6. In addition to the horizontal line marked in step 2, a pair of vertical lines
(E) must be marked at the center line
of the headlamps on the wall or screen. 7. On the wall or screen, locate the high
intensity area of the beam pattern. The
left edge of the high intensity area
should be even with the vertical line
corresponding to the headlamp under
adjustment. If the left edge of the high
intensity area is not even with the
vertical line, follow the next step to
adjust it.
8. Locate the horizontal adjuster (B) for each headlamp. Turn it clockwise or
counterclockwise to place the left edge
of the high intensity area even with the
vertical line corresponding to the
headlamp under adjustment.
Vertical Aim Adjustment
Procedure (Aerodynamic
Headlamps)
You can only adjust the headlamps
vertically. Your vehicle does not require
horizontal aim adjustments. 8 feet (2.4 meters).
A
