Service Manual Update Regarding Headlamp Alignment

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform the technician and customer of proper headlamp alignment. Review the projection headlamp low beam pattern with the customer. If necessary, re-align the headlamp(s). Note the stepped appearance with this design. If the customer's vehicle displays a headlamp projection as shown in the illustration, neither headlamp replacement nor re-alignment should be performed.

The SI website will be updated immediately and future Service Stall System SI CD releases will include this and other Service Manual updates.
