Headlamp Aiming
Your vehicle has the composite headlamp system. These
headlamps have horizontal and vertical aim indicators.
The
aim has been pre-set at the hctory and should need
no further adjustment.
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and the
headlamp aim seems to be affected, see your Aurora
retailer. Headlamps
on damaged vehicles may require
recalibration
of the horizontal aim by your Aurora
retailer.
To check the aim, the vehicle should be properly
prepared as follows:
The vehicle must have all four tires on a perfectly
level surface.
The vehicle should not have any snow, ice, or mud
attached
to it.
0 There should not be any cargo or loading of vehicle,
except
it should have a full tank of gas and one
person or
160 Ibs. (75 kg) on the driver's seat.
Tires should be properly inflated.
I NOTICE:
To make sure your headlamps are aimed
properly, read all the instructions before
beginning. Failure to
follow these instructions
could cause damage to headlamp parts.
State inspection stations will allow a vertical reading of
plus
0.76 degrees or minus 0.76 degrees from the center
of the bubble.
It is recolnmended that the upper limit not exceed plus
0.4 degrees from the center of the bubble. Other drivers
may flash their bright lights at you
if your adjustment is
much above plus 0.4 degrees.
If you find that the headlamp aiming needs adjustment,
follow these steps:
Start with the vertical headlamp aim. Don't try to adjust
the horizontal aim first. Adjustment screws can be
turned
with an E8 Torx@socket or T1S TorxB
screwdriver.
