Headlamp: Adjustments




PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS
The headlamps should be aimed with the proper beam-setting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment manufacture's instructions.

NOTE: If there are any regulations pertinent to the aiming of headlamps in the area where the vehicle is to be used, adjust so as to meet those requirements.

Alternately turn the adjusting bolts to adjust the headlamp aiming. If beam-setting equipment is not available, proceed as follows:
1. Inflate the tires to the specified pressure and remove the load from the vehicle except a driver, spare tire, tool.
2. The vehicle should be placed on the flat floor.
3. Draw vertical lines (Vertical lines passing through respective headlamp centers) and a horizontal line (Horizontal line passing through center of headlamps) on the screen.




4. With the headlamp and battery normal condition, aim the headlamps.
Make the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the lower beam to the standard values by using the adjusting knobs.




- Turn on the low beam without driver, the cut-off line is projected in the allowable range (shaded region).




- Turn on the fog lamp without driver, the cut-off line is projected in the allowable range.







The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If the deviation of the light beam axis exceeds the standard value, check to be sure that the mounting location or some other point is not defective.
W1 : Distance between the head lamp bulb center.
W2 : Distance between the fog lamp bulb center.
H1 : Height between the head lamp bulb center and ground.
H2 : Height between the fog lamp bulb center and ground.
L : Distance between the head lamp bulb center and screen.

CAUTION: Be sure to adjust the aiming adjustment screw in the tightening direction.

NOTE: The reflectors for low beam and high beam have been combined into a single part, so if the low beam adjustment is made, high beam adjustment is not necessary.
