Headlamp: Adjustments
Before adjusting the headlights:- Park the vehicle on level ground.
- Make sure the fuel tank is full.
- The driver or someone who weights the same should sit in the driver's seat.
- Load the trunk with the items you usually carry.
- Push down on the front and rear bumpers several times to make sure the vehicle is sitting normally.
1. Open the hood.
2. Check the horizontal adjustment indicator. The "O" mark (A) on the horizontal adjustment indicator gear should be aligned with the mark (B) on the horizontal indicator.
3. Check the vertical adjustment indicator. The bubble (A) should be centered underneath the longest scribe mark (the "O" mark) on the gauge.
4. If either indicator is not aligned with its "O" mark as described above, adjust it to "O" with a Phillips screwdriver.
5. Adjust the headlights to local requirements by turning the adjusters.
6. After headlight assembly replacement, it may be necessary to readjust the horizontal indicator gear (A).
- First install the headlight, and adjust its horizontal and vertical aimings according to local requirements.
- Then check that the arrow on the horizontal indicator gear is aligned with the mark on the horizontal indicator.
