Headlamp: Adjustments

Headlight Adjustment

Before adjusting the headlights:
- Park the vehicle on level ground.
- Make sure the fuel tank is full.
- The driver or someone who weight the same should sit in the driver's seat.
- Load the trunk with the items you usually carry.
- Push down on the front and rear bumpers several times to make sure the vehicle is sitting normally.




1. Clean the outer lens so that you can see the center of the headlights (A).
2. Align the center of the headlights to 7.5 m (25 ft) from the wall or a screen (B), and park the vehicle.
3. Turn the low beams on.




4. Measure the height of the headlights (A) and the lights should reflect 52 mm (2.1 in.) below headlight height (B).




5. If necessary, adjust the headlights to local requirements by turning the vertical adjuster.
