Fog/Driving Lamp: Adjustments
FOG LIGHT AIMINGAfter setting the vehicles to the following condition, adjust the front fog light aiming.
- Check that the tire inflation pressure is at the value indicated on the tire pressure labels.
- Set the vehicle to the unladen condition and park it on a level surface.
- Have a single person
- Run the engine at a speed of 2,000 r/min to fully charge the battery.
Turn on the front fog lights and check that the illumination is within the standard value range.
Standard value: (Vertical direction): Top of the hot zone should be 101 mm (4.0 inches) below the fog light center (equivalent to the fog light beam angle of 0.76 degrees angle). (Horizontal direction): Parallel to direction of vehicle travel.
Limit: (Vertical direction): Top of the hot zone should be 152 mm (6.0 inches) below the fog light center (equivalent to the fog light beam angle of 1.14 degrees angle).
CAUTION: For the fog light which is not being measured, disconnect that fog light's connector if possible so that it does not illuminate while carrying out the adjustment. Furthermore, make sure that the light axis does not get shifted when re-connecting the connector.
If the value is out of the standard value, insert the screwdriver (+) through the aiming hole on the side under cover to adjust by turning the adjusting gear for fog light aiming.
NOTE: Horizontal adjustment is not possible.
In addition, the method of checking the light axis on a screen (simple check) is given below.
1. Place the screen so that it is directly opposite the center of the fog light at a distance of 7.62 m (25.0 feet), and turn on the fog lights.
CAUTION: For the front fog light which is not being measured, disconnect that fog light's connector if possible so that it does not illuminate while carrying out the adjustment. Furthermore, make sure that the light axis does not get shifted when re-connecting the connector.
2. Insert the screwdriver (+) through the aiming hole on the side under cover. By turning the adjusting gear for fog light aiming, align the cutoff line (border line of the shadow temperature) with the specified position in the figure.
NOTE: Horizontal adjustment is not possible.
