Aim Preparation

In order to prepare the vehicle for aiming the headlamps, perform the following steps:
^ Completely assemble all of the components on the vehicle.
^ Place the vehicle on a level surface.
^ Stop all unnecessary operations or work on the vehicle that affect the vehicle trim.
^ Close the doors.
^ Stabilize the suspension.
^ Ensure that the fuel level is full.
^ Rock the vehicle sideways.
^ Ensure that the tires are inflated to the proper pressure.
^ Ensure that the driver or a similar weight (approximately 165 lbs) is in the vehicle driver seat.

Location
Ensure that the work area is darkened and large enough to allow for the vehicle and an additional 7.62 m (25 ft). The distance for this procedure is measured from the face of the headlamps to the front of the illumination surface. Ensure that the floor upon which the vehicle rests is level with the bottom of the illumination surface. Compensate accordingly if the floor is not level.
