For 1990-2009 cars only

Your Saturn has composite headlamps that feature built-in vertical and horizontal aim indicators. Headlamp aim has been preset at the factory and should need no further adjustments.

If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and the headlamp aim seem to be affected, see your retailer. Headlamps on damaged vehicles may require recalibration of the horizontal aim by your retailer.

To check the aim, the vehicle should be properly prepared as follows:

    • Place the vehicle on a level pad or surface.
    • The vehicle should not have any snow, ice, or mud attached to it.
    • The vehicle should be fully assembled and all other work stopped while headlamp aiming is being done.
    • There should not be any cargo or loading of the vehicle, except it should have a full tank of gas or one person or 160 pounds (75 kg) on the driver's seat.
    • Close all doors.
    • The tires should be properly inflated.
    • Rock the vehicle to stabilize the suspension.
