Headlamp Adjustment

HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: A properly aligned headlamp will project a pattern on the alignment screen from just below horizontal to 75 millimeters (3 inches) below the headlamp centerline for vehicles in North America, or from just below horizontal to 125 millimeters (5 inches) below the headlamp horizontal centerline for vehicles in Export.




1. Vehicles for all markets except Japan should have the headlamp low beams selected with the dimmer (multi-function) switch during the adjustment procedure. Vehicles for the Japanese market should have the headlamp high beams selected.
2. Cover the lens of the headlamp that is not being adjusted.
3. Turn the adjusting screw (3) until the top edge of the beam intensity pattern is positioned from just below horizontal to 75 millimeters (3 inches) below the headlamp horizontal centerline for vehicles in North America, or from just below horizontal to 125 millimeters (5 inches) below the headlamp horizontal centerline for Export vehicles.
4. Repeat the adjustment procedure for the opposite headlamp.
