Headlamp: Adjustments

Headlight Assembly

ADJUSTMENT

1. HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION: Turn off the light before adjusting the headlight beam level. If it is necessary to inspect the beam level, do not keep the light on for two minutes or more.

NOTE:
- Before checking the headlight beam level, be sure of the following:
- Check the area around the headlight for any scratches, damage or other types of deformation.
- Make sure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
- Make sure that the inflation pressure of tires are correct.
- Make sure that the vehicle fuel tank is full.

1. Bounce the vehicle two to three times to normalize the suspension.
2. Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.
3. Measure the distance between the low beam bulb centers, and the height of the bulb center.
4. Turn the headlights on and then adjust the low beam pattern.

NOTE: First adjust the vertical beam level (A), then the horizontal beam level (B).












CAUTION: Check the bulb center mark on the inner side of the lens since the low beam bulb center will differ according to bulb shape.
