Horizontal Aim Adjustment
The horizontal aim does not require anyadjustment for this vehicle. If a fault occurs,have the system checked by an authorizeddealer.
CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodatenormal changes in pressure. Condensationcan be a natural by-product of this design.When moist air enters the lamp assemblythrough the vents, there is a possibility thatcondensation can occur when thetemperature is cold. When normalcondensation occurs, a thin film of mist canform on the interior of the lens. The thin misteventually clears and exits through the ventsduring normal operation. Clearing time maytake as long as 48 hours under dry weatherconditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, dripmarks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of thelens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture (usuallycaused by a lamp water leak) are:
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks orstreaks present on the interior of the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service ifany of the above conditions of unacceptablemoisture are present.
