(P). 2. Switch off the engine.
3. Block the wheels.
Working with the Engine On WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and/or personal burn injuries, do not
start your engine with the air cleaner
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. 1.
Set the parking brake and shift to park
(P).
2. Block the wheels.

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.
148
E-Series (TE4) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2015, Second Printing MaintenanceE196357
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 of the headlamp bulb center from the ground and mark
an 8 foot (2.4 meter) horizontal
reference line on the vertical wall or
screen at this height.
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. 4.
On the wall or screen, you will observe
a flat zone of high intensity light
located at the top of the right hand
portion of the beam pattern. If the top
edge of the high intensity light zone is
not at the horizontal reference line, you
will need to adjust the headlamp. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in order
to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp.
6. Repeat steps 3 thru 5 to adjust the other headlamp.
7. Close the hood and switch off the lamps.
REMOVING A HEADLAMP
Aerodynamic Headlamps
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood. 2. Remove the three screws from the
headlamp assembly and pull the
assembly straight out.

E-Series (TE4) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2015, Second Printing MaintenanceE142465 E163806 E196385
3.
Disconnect the electrical connector by
squeezing the release tab and pushing
the connector forward, then pulling it
rearward.
4. Remove the headlamp.
To install the new lamp, follow the
removal procedures in reverse order.
Sealed Beam Headlamps
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood. 2. Remove the four screws from the
headlamp assembly and carefully
remove the lamp/bezel.
3. Remove the four screws and the retaining ring.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the lamp and remove the lamp.
To install the new lamp, follow the
removal procedures in reverse order.
CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to
accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a thin film of
mist can form on the interior of the lens.
The thin mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip
marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak) are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks or
streaks present on the interior of the
lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if
any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Headlamp Bulbs
(Aerodynamic) WARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb
carefully and keep out of children
’s
reach. Grasp the bulb by only 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 use.
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood.
2. Remove the headlamp. See Removing a Headlamp (page 150).
3. Disconnect the electrical connector by
squeezing the release tab and pushing
the connector forward, then pulling it
rearward.

it counterclockwise and pulling it
straight out.
To install the new bulb, follow the removal
procedures in reverse order.

BULB SPECIFICATION CHART
Replacement bulbs are specified in the
chart below. Headlamp bulbs must be
marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for
North America and an “E” for Europe to
ensure lamp performance, light brightness
and pattern and safe visibility. The correct
bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and
will provide quality bulb illumination time.
