HEADLIGHT
NOTE: The bulb portion of the headlight is fragile.
HANDLE WITH CARE. When replacing the headlight
bulb, do not touch the glass portion of the bulb. If the
glass is touched, it must be cleaned with a dry cloth
before installing. Skin oil residue on the bulb will
shorten the life of the bulb.
To replace the headlight bulb, use the following procedure.
1. Remove the wiring harness connector from the back
of the headlight.
2. Grasp the bulb socket, turn it counterclockwise and
remove, and pull the bulb straight out of the socket.
3. Install the new bulb into the socket and rotate it com-
pletely clockwise in the housing.
4. Install the wiring harness connector.
TAILLIGHT-BRAKELIGHT
To replace the taillight-brakelight bulb, use the following
procedure.
1. Remove the two machine screws and remove the
light assembly.
2. Rotate the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it
from the light assembly; then pull straight out on the
bulb. Push the new bulb straight into the socket.
3. Install the bulb and socket into the light assembly
and turn clockwise to lock in place.
4. Install the taillight-brakelight assembly on the can-
opy support.
CHECKING/ADJUSTING
HEADLIGHT AIM
The headlights can be adjusted vertically. The geometric center
of the HIGH beam light zone is to be used for vertical aiming.
1. Position the vehicle on a level floor so the headlights
are approximately 6.1 m (20 ft) from an aiming sur-
face (wall or similar aiming surface).
NOTE: There should be an average operating load
on the vehicle when adjusting the headlight aim.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the mid-point
of each headlight.
3. Using the measurements obtained in step 2, make
horizontal marks on the aiming surface.
4. Make vertical marks which intersect the horizontal
marks on the aiming surface directly in front of the
headlights.
5. Switch on the lights. Make sure the HIGH beam is
on. DO NOT USE LOW BEAM.
6. Observe each headlight beam aim. Proper aim is
when the most intense beam is centered on the verti-
cal mark 5 cm (2 in.) below the horizontal mark on
the aiming surface.

7. Using the adjuster knob, adjust each headlight until
correct aim is obtained.

CHECKING SHIFT CABLE
Set the parking brake and turn the ignition switch on;
then with the shift lever in the neutral position, look for
the (N) indication on the LCD. Shift into high range and
look for the (H) indication, low range for the (L) indica-
tion, and reverse for the (R) indication. Shift the trans-
mission into neutral and turn the ignition switch off.
! WARNING
Do not attempt to remove the bulb when it is hot. Severe
burns may result.
