With LED Headlight
Low Beam Adjustment
1. Make a screen shown in the figure using double-weight, white paper.
2. Sit on the driver-side seat alone.
3. Line up the vehicle with the wall so that the center of the headlight is 3 m {9.8 ft} away from the wall.
4. Measure the height at the center of the headlight.

Note
-
• Measure the height at the center of the headlight in which the aiming is being adjusted because the vehicle height differs depending on vehicle conditions such as tire wear.
5. Align the center of the headlight with the center of the screen.
6. Block the light of the other headlight using a partition.
7. Start the engine.
-
Note
-
• If servicing is performed with the engine stopped and the headlight illuminated, it could result in a discharged battery. Start the engine and perform the aiming adjustment while the engine is idling.
8. Turn on the headlight low beams.
9. Verify that the elbow point of the headlight is in the position indicated on the screen.
-
• If the elbow point is not at the position indicated on the screen, turn the adjustment screw to adjust the elbow point to the position indicated on the screen.

-
Note
-
• Because the headlight moves also in the left/right direction when the up/down screw is turned, adjust it in the left/right direction after adjusting in the up/down direction.
