Headlamp Alignment

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT

NOTE: Due to the linear nature of the headlamp cutoff, a properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the top edge of the high intensity pattern on the alignment screen from the horizontal line to 50 millimeters (2 inches) below the horizontal line for domestic market vehicles, or to 125 millimeters (5 inches) below the horizontal line for export market vehicles. No horizontal (right/left) adjustment is required for this headlamp beam pattern in domestic market vehicles. Export market vehicles have a second horizontal (right/left) adjustment screw provided, which is accessible through a clearance hole on the inboard side of the front lamp unit cover. The high beam pattern will be correct when the low beams are properly aimed.




1. Turn the headlamps On and select the Low beams for vehicles in all markets except Japan. Vehicles for the Japanese market should have the headlamp High beams selected.
2. Insert a screwdriver through the outboard clearance hole (1) in the front lamp unit cover (2) to rotate the headlamp vertical adjustment screw on each front lamp to adjust the beam height as required.
