AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD)
on each headlamp body. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the
horizontal direction (left/right) and the vertical position (up/down).
A non-zero bubble reading does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim
headlamps. If your vehicle is not positioned on a level surface, the slope
will be included in the level indicator. Therefore, vertical headlamp
adjustment should be performed only when beam direction appears to be
incorrect.
The horizontal aim must be adjusted first. You will need one 4 mm
wrench or socket to make the adjustments.
If the vehicle has been in an accident, the vehicle's front structure
should be properly aligned before aiming the headlamps.
Horizontal aim adjustment
1. Park the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. With the hood open, remove the
protective cover, then locate the
horizontal indicator and the
adjusting screw.
3.Usea4mmwrench or socket to
turn the horizontal adjusting screw
until the end of the shaft within the
clear tube lines up with the ª0º
reference mark on the indicator
when viewed directly from above.
