Headlamp: Adjustments

HEADLAMP AIMING




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 pertaining to the aiming of head lamps 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 all heavy load from the vehicle, except a driver, spare tire and tools.
2. The vehicle should be placed on a flat surface.
3. Draw vertical lines (vertical lines passing through respective headlamp centers) and a horizontal line (horizontal line passing through center of headlamps) on a screen.




4. With the headlamp and battery in normal condition, aim the headlamps. Make a 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 area).




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

The fog lamp is non-adjustable of the horizontal direction. 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 detective.

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.
