WARNING: Always remember to turn on your headlamps at

dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp

(DRL) system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not

provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate

your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.

instrument panel and all applicable

switches in the vehicle during

headlamp and parking lamp

operation.

Move the control to the full upright

position, past detent, to turn on the

interior lamps.

Certain displays like the message

center and the climate control unit

do not change with the dimmer control until the dash-mounted sensor

Note: If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is

installed, the dimmer switch requires re-calibration. Rotate the dimmer

switch from the full dim position to the full dome/on position to reset.

This will ensure that your displays are visible under all lighting

conditions.

If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps

should be checked by your authorized dealer.

portion of the beam pattern. The

top edge of this cut-off should be

positioned two inches (5 cm) below

the horizontal reference line.

4. Locate the vertical adjuster on

each headlamp. Using a Phillips #2

screwdriver, turn the adjuster either

clockwise (to adjust down) or

counterclockwise (to adjust up).

The horizontal edge of the brighter

light should touch the horizontal

reference line.

5. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
