Headlamp Aiming Your vehicle has a headlamp system equipped with horizontal and vertical aim indicators. The aim has been pre-set at the factory and should need no further adjustment. This is true even though your vertical and horizontal aim indicators may not fall exactly on the "0" (zero) marks on their scales. If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the headlamp aim may be affected. Aim adjustment may be necessary if it is difficult to see lane markers (for horizontal aim), or if oncoming drivers flash their high beams at you (for vertical aim). If you believe your headlamps need to be re-aimed, we recommend that you take it to your dealer for service; however, it is possible for you to re-aim your headlamps as described in the following procedure. 1. Lift the headlamp assembly forward, out of the mounting bracket. 2. Remove the rubber cap covering the bulb assembly. 3. Twist the bulb assembly retainer counterclockwise one-sixth of a turn and pull out the bulb assembly. 4. Unclip the bulb assembly from the wiring harness. 5. Reverse Steps 1 through 4 to replace the bulb assembly and headlamp housing. NOTICE: To make sure your headlamps are aimed properly, read all the instructions before beginning. Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage to headlamp parts. 6-31
