Check the operation of your car's
exterior lights at least once a month.
A burned out bulb can create an
unsafe condition by reducing your
car's visibility and the ability to signal
your intentions to other drivers.
Check the following:
Headlights (low and high beam)
Parking lights
Tail lights
Brake lights
Turn signals
Back-up lights
Hazard light function
License plate light
Side marker lights
If you find any bulbs are burned out,
replace them as soon as possible.
Refer to the chart on page
termine what type of replacement
bulb is needed.

Headlight Aiming
The headlights were properly aimed
when your car was new. You should
check their aim if you regularly carry
heavy items in the trunk or pull a
trailer. Each headlight assembly has
horizontal and vertical adjustment
indicators. These are set to their "0"
positions after the headlights are
aimed at the factory.
To check these settings:
1. Make sure the fuel tank is full.
Park the car on level ground.
2. The driver or someone who
weighs the same should be sitting
in the driver's seat for all checks
and adjustments. Load the trunk
with the items you normally carry.

HORIZONTAL ANGLE GAGE
If you usually pull a trailer, load it as
you would normally and attach it to
the car. Push down on the front and
rear bumpers several times to make
sure the car is setting normally.
3. Open the hood.
4. Check the horizontal adjustment
indicator. The line on the adjust-
ment screw indicator should line
up with the "0" mark on the gauge.
