2. INSPECT OUTPUT SIGNAL OF VEHICLE SPEED
(a) Check for the signal.
(1) While driving the vehicle at the speed of 10 km/h,
check the voltage between the terminal C11±15 of
the combination meter assy and the body ground.

VEHICLE LIFT AND SUPPORT LOCATIONS
1. NOTICE ABOUT VEHICLE CONDITION WHEN JACKING UP
(a) As a rule, the vehicle must be unloaded when jacking up. Never jack up or lift up the vehicle loaded
with things of heavy weight.
(b) When removing any parts of heavy weight like the engine and transmission, the center of gravity of
the vehicle moves. Place a balance weight so as to keep it from rolling, or hold the jacking support
location using the mission jack.
2. NOTICE FOR USING 4 POST LIFT
(a) Follow the instruction manual for a safety operation.
(b) Do not damage tires or wheels with a free wheel beam.
(c) Using a wheel stopper, fix the vehicle.
3. NOTICE FOR USING JACK AND SAFETY STAND
(a) Work in the flat place using a wheel stopper at all times.
(b) Use a safety stand with a rubber attachment, as shown
in the illustration.
(c) Support the specified location with a jack and safety stand
accurately.
(d) When jacking up the front wheels, release the parking
brake and place wheel stoppers only behind the rear
wheels. When jacking up the rear wheels, place wheel
stoppers only in front of the front wheels.
(e) Do not work or leave the vehicle supported only by a jack.
Be sure to support the vehicle with a safety stand.
(f) When jacking up only the front wheels or only the rear wheels, place wheel stoppers to both sides of
the wheels that contact ground.
(g) When jacking down the vehicle with its front wheels jacked up, release the parking brake and place
wheel stoppers only in front of the rear wheels. When jacking down the vehicle with its rear wheels

ADJUSTMENT
1. HEADLIGHT AIM ONLY
HINT:

Perform aiming adjustment with Low±beam.

Since the Low±beam light and the High±beam light is a
unit, if aiming on either side is connect, the other side
should also be connect.
However, check both beams just to make sure.
(a) Prepare vehicle in the following conditions.

Check that any damage or deformation does not exist on
the body around the headlights.

Fuel tank is full.

The tire inflation pressure is at the specified level.

Vehicle is parked at a level surface.

A person having an average weight sits in the driver's
seat.

Vehicle is bounced up and down to stabilize the suspen-
sion to the normal position.
(b) Prepare a thick white paper (Draw base lines).
HINT:

Stand the paper perpendicular as against a wall.

The base lines differ for ºLow±beam inspectionº and
ºHigh±beam inspectionº.
(1) V line (Vehicle Center position)
Draw a vertical line down the center of the paper in
order to align it with the center of the vehicle.
(2) H line (Headlight height)
Draw horizontal line across the paper at the same
height from the ground as the center mark for the
Low±beam lights.
(3) V LH line, V RH line (Center mark position of right
and left headlights)
Draw vertical lines, for left & right, at the same posi-
tion as the center mark for the Low±beam lights.
HINT:
Follow the same procedures when adjusting the High±beam
lights.
