Headlamp: Adjustments




The headlamps should be aimed with the proper beam-setting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's instruction.


NOTE: If there are any regulations pertinent 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 aming. 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 head lamps) on the screen.
4. With the headlamp and battery normal condition, aim the head lamps. Make the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the lower beam to the standard values by using the adjusting knobs.
