Headlamp: Adjustments

HEADLIGHT / ADJUSTMENT
Before adjusting the headlights:
- Park the car on level ground.
- Make sure the fuel tank is full.
- The driver or someone who weighs the same should sit in the driver's seat.
- Load the trunk with the items you usually carry (if you usually pull a trailer, attach it to the car).
- Push down on the front and rear bumpers several times to make sure the car is sitting normally.







- When installing a new headlight assembly, tighten the four mounting bolts so that the indicator in the vertical gauge comes to the "0" mark.

1. Open the hood.
2. Check that both the horizontal and vertical gauge read "0".
