• Ensure all tires are inflated to correct pressure.
• Place vehicle and screen on level surface.
• Ensure there is no load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
• Coolant and engine oil filled to correct level, and fuel tank full.
• Remove cargo and/or luggage to maintain an unloaded vehicle condition.
• Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.
• Carefully wipe off any dirt from headlamp lens. CAUTION:
Do not use organic solvent (thinner, gasoline etc.)
• Place a driver or equivalent weight of 68.5 kg (150 lb) on the driver seat.
• By hand, bounce the front and rear of the vehicle to settle the suspension and eliminate any static load.
• Place the front tires in the straight ahead position.
• Aim each headlamp individually and ensure other headlamp beam pattern is blocked from screen.
NOTE:
• For headlamp aiming details, refer to regulations in your area.
• By regulation, no means for horizontal aim adjustment is provided from the factory; only vertical aim is
adjustable.
• Use adjusting screw to perform aiming adjustment.
• Perform headlamp aiming if:
- The vehicle front body has been repaired.
- The front combination lamp has been removed or replaced.
- Any outfitting has been installed.
- The vehicle’s standard load condition has been substantially increased.
Aiming Adjustment Procedure
1. Place the screen. NOTE:
• Stop the vehicle facing the wall.
• Place the board on a plain road vertically.
