battery's label. The battery is located
in the trunk behind a trim panel
on the driver's side.

and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of

Infrequent Usage: If the vehicle is
driven infrequently, remove the
black, negative ( ) cable from the
battery. This helps keep the battery
from running down.
Extended Storage: For extended
storage of the vehicle, remove
the black, negative ( ) cable from
the battery or use a battery
trickle charger. This helps maintain
the charge of the battery over
an extended period of time.

Headlamp Aiming

The optical headlamp aiming system
has been preset at the factory
and should need no further
adjustment
However, if the vehicle is damaged
adjustment may be necessary.
If oncoming vehicles flash their
high beams at you, this may also
mean the vertical aim needs to
be adjusted.
It is recommended that the vehicle
is taken to your dealer/retailer
for service if the headlamps need to
be re-aimed. It is possible however,
to re-aim the headlamps as
described.
