3. If there is a difference in height between the side
outer panels and the side edges of the trunk lid
panel assembly, check the trunk lid hinges and, if
necessary, replace them
4. If the clearance around the trunk lid panel
assembly is not uniform, and the trunk lid can be
locked and unlocked smoothly, make adjustments
to the trunk lid bumpers (refer to P.42-42) and
trunk lid hinges (Refer to P.42-42).
5. If the locking and unlocking of the trunk lid still is
difficult after making the above adjustments,
adjust the trunk lid striker (Refer to P.42-42).
ADJUSTMENT OF CLEARANCE AROUND
TRUNK LID
M1421008100039
Loosen the trunk lid panel assembly mounting bolts
and move the trunk lid panel assembly to make the
clearance around the trunk lid uniform.
TRUNK LID STRIKER ADJUSTMENTM1421008200036
After checking the trunk lid release cable for proper
routing, loosen the trunk lid striker mounting bolts.
Change the position of the trunk lid striker relative to
the trunk lid latch assembly so that trunk lid locking
and unlocking effort is correct.
TRUNK LID HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTM1421008300033
Turn each trunk lid bumper until the height shown in
the drawing is reached. If the trunk lid panel height
on one side is different from that on the other side
(even after the trunk lid bumpers have been adjusted
to the height indicated in the drawing), turn the trunk
lid bumper(s) slightly to make fine adjustments to the
trunk lid panel height.
NOTE: When the bumper is new, one full turn of the
trunk lid bumper changes the height approximately 3
mm. Turn it clockwise to reduce height. Turn it
anticlockwise to increase height.

HEADLAMP
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-67
NOTE: Height from the floor to the centre of
the headlamps (Reference value): 840 mm
(3) Measure the distance from the centre line of
the vehicle to the centre of each headlamp.
Transfer the measurement to the screen.
Vertical tape or mark on the screen with
reference to the centre line of each headlamp
bulb.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
•Do not cover a headlamp for more than three
minutes to prevent the plastic headlamp lens
deformation.
•When adjusting one headlamp beam, make
sure that another headlamp is off by
disconnecting the connector from it. When
reconnecting the connector, make sure that
the headlamp beam is not disturbed
accidentally.
1. The low-beam headlamp should project on the
screen upper edge of the beam (cut-off).
2. If not the case, turn the adjusting screws to
achieve the specified low-beam cut-off location on
the aiming screen.Standard value:
(Vertical direction) 0.69° below horizontal (H)
(Horizontal direction) Position at which the
stat up point of 15° is crossed with vertical
line (V)
Limit:
Vertical direction; ± 0.29° from the standard
value
Horizontal direction; ± 0.5° from the standard
value
LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENTM1542001000464
1. Set the headlamps to high-beam.
2. Using a photometer, and following its
manufacturer's instruction manual, measure the
headlamp centre intensity and check to be sure
that the limit value is satisfied.
Limit: 30,000 cd or more {When a screen is
set 25m ahead of the vehicle}
NOTE: When measuring the intensity, maintain an
engine speed of 2,000 r/min., with the battery fully
charged.
There may be special local regulations pertaining to
headlamp intensity. Be sure to make any
adjustments necessary to satisfy such regulations.
If an illuminometer is used to make the
measurements, convert its values to photometer
values by using the following formula.
I =E x r
2:
•I = intensity (cd)
•E = illumination (lux)
•r = distance (m) from headlamps to illuminometer
