Cadillac escalade 2002 User Manual

Your vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aiming
system equipped with horizontal aim indicators. 
The aim has been preset at the factory and should 
need no further adjustment. This is true even though
your horizontal aim indicators may not fall exactly on 
the “0” (zero) marks on their scales.

If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the headlamp
aim may be affected. Aim adjustment to the low beam
may be necessary if it is difficult to see lane markers
(for horizontal aim), or if oncoming drivers flash their
high beams at you (for vertical aim).

If you believe your headlamps need to be re

-

aimed, we

recommend that you take your vehicle to your dealer for
service. However, it is possible for you to re

-

aim your

headlamps as described in the following procedure.

The vehicle should be properly prepared as follows:
D The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps 

are 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a light colored wall or other
flat surface.

D The vehicle must have all four tires on a perfectly

level surface which is level all the way to the wall or
other flat surface.

D The vehicle should be placed so it is perpendicular to

the wall or other flat surface.
