Lights Your vehicle also contains a feature called "sleeping baby mode" - in which the dome lamps will remain off and only the lower lamps will illuminate. This lighting mode can be activated by rotating the thumbwheel to the first left detent position (as denoted by the half filled circle above). Domelamp Control The panel dimmer control also controls the domelamp operation. • Rotate the thumbwheel fully to the right, past detent to activate the domelamp. • In order to turn off the domelamp, rotate the thumbwheel to the left. The dome lamp will not illuminate if the control switch is in the OFF position. AIMING THE HEADLAMPS The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant. If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps should be checked by your authorized dealer. You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to make the adjustments.

Measure the height from the center of your headlamp 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).

Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood. 48 2005 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
