HEADLIGHT AIMING AD- JUSTMENT
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correctpressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down several times. Placevehicle at a distance of 3m (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tire,jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head light lenses and
turn on the headlights.
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the center of each headlight beam pat- tern) and the horizontal line (through the center of each headlight beampattern) on the aiming screen.And then, draw a parallel line at 30mm (1.18 in.) under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with aphillips screwdriver - VERTICAL AIMING.
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low
beam to each vertical line with aphillips screwdriver - HORIZON- TAL AIMING.
Before performing aiming adjustment,

The power steering fluid level shouldbe checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that thepower steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. NOTE: Do not check whilst the engine is running. Do not start when power steering fluid reservoir is empty.High Beam

If the vehicle has had front body
repair and the headlight assembly has been replaced, the headlight aim- ing should be checked using an aim-ing screen as shown in the illustra- tion. Turn on the headlight switch.
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is parallel to centre line of the body and is aligned with point"P" shown in the illustration.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show centre of headlights. SPECIFICATION:
"H" Horizontal centre line of headlights from ground: Low Beam: 26.7 in. (679mm) High Beam: 26.5 in. (672mm) "W" Distance between each headlight cen- tre : Low Beam: 47.3 in. (1,202mm) High Beam: 38.0 in. (966mm) "L" Distance between the headlights and the wall that the lights are tested against : 118.11 in. (3,000 mm)
1. Keep all tyres inflated to the cor-
rect pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rearbumper down several times. Placevehicle at a distance of 118.1 in. (3m) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tyres,jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn on the headlight.
5. Open the bonnet.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the centre of each headlight beam pat- tern) and the horizontal line (through the centre of each headlight beampattern) on the aiming screen.And then, draw a parallel line at1.18 in. (30 mm) under the hori- zontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with aphillips screwdriver - VERTICAL AIMING.
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the each vertical line witha phillips screwdriver - HORIZON- TAL AIMING. L
