If you find that the headlamp aiming needs adjustment,
follow these steps:
Start with the vertical headlamp aim. Adjustment
screws can be turned with an
E8 Tom@ socket or T15
Torx screwdriver.
1. Check the vertical aim for each headlamp. The
vehicle must be on a level surface.
Turn the vertical
aiming screw until the bubble in the level is lined up
with the
0 (zero).
2. Now adjust the horizontal aim. The horizontal
aiming device is located on the inboard side of each
headlamp assembly, down lower from the vertical
aiming device. Check the horizontal aim and adjust
it
as necessary. There is a round dial located on the
horizontal adjuster, with an alignment notch
on it.
Turn the horizontal aiming screw until the zero is
lined up with the notch.
3. Now, visually recheck the vertical aim, to make sure
it is still correct after the horizontal aim adjustment.
Readjust, if necessary.
