For details, refer to the regulations in your area.
NOTE:
If vehicle front body has been repaired and /or the headlamp assembly has been replaced, check headlamp
aiming.
HEADLAMP AIMING
NOTE:

Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following:
–Confirm headlamp aiming switch is set to "0" (zero) position.
–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.
–Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.
–Aim each headlamp individually and ensure other headlamp beam pattern is blocked from screen.
–Use adjusting screw to perform aiming adjustment

FRONT FOG LAMP
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
Aiming AdjustmentEKS00B9M
The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.

Place vehicle on level ground.

See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the
driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjustment
screw.
NOTE:
Access adjustment screw from underneath front bumper. Turn screw
clockwise to raise pattern and counterclockwise to lower pattern.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the fog lamp lens as shown.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge of the high intensity zone is 200 mm (7.9 in) below the height of
the fog lamp centers as shown.

When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the headlamps
and opposite fog lamp.

InspectionEBS00LMS
OIL LEVEL

Before starting the engine make sure the vehicle is parked on a
flat and level surface, then check the oil level. If the engine is
already running, turn it off and allow 10 minutes before check-
ing.

Check that the oil level is within the low (L) and high (H) range
as indicated on the dipstick.

If the engine oil level is out of range, add oil as necessary. Refer
to GI-46, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
OIL APPEARANCE

Check the engine oil for a white milky appearance or excessive contamination.

If the engine oil is milky, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant. Repair the broken
parts.
OIL LEAKAGE
Check for oil leakage around the following areas:

Oil pan

Oil pan drain plug

Oil pressure sensor

Oil filter

Oil cooler

Intake valve timing control cover

Intake valve timing control solenoid valve

Front cover

Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head

Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover

Crankshaft oil seal (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
