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 pad or surface.
^ Stop all unnecessary operations or work on the vehicle that affects 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 lb) is in the vehicle drivers seat.

Location
Ensure that the area is darkened and large enough in order 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 screen. Ensure that the floor on which the vehicle rests is level with the bottom of the screen. Compensate for the floor if the floor is not level.
