Headlamp: Adjustments

HEAD LAMP AIMING INSTRUCTIONS

The headlamps should be aimed with the proper beam setting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

NOTE: If there are any regulations pertinent to the aiming of headlamps in the area where the vehicle is to be used, adjust so as to meet those requirements.

Alternately turn the adjusting gear to adjust the headlamp aiming. If beam-setting equipment is not available, proceed as follows:







1. Inflate the tires to the specified pressure and remove any loads from the vehicle except the driver, spare tire, and tools.
2. The vehicle should be placed on a flat floor.
3. Draw vertical lines (Vertical lines passing through respective headlamp centers) and a horizontal line (Horizontal line passing through center of headlamps) on the screen.
4. With the headlamp and battery in normal condition, aim the headlamps so the brightest portion falls on the horizontal and vertical lines.
Make vertical and horizontal adjustments to the lower beam using the adjusting wheel.

FRONT FOG LAMP

The front fog lamps should be aimed as the same manner of the head lamps aiming.

With the front fog lamps and battery normal condition, aim the front fog lamps by turning the adjusting gear.




1. Turn the low beam on without the driver aboard. The cut-off line should be projected in the allowable range (shaded region).




2. Turn the front fog lamp on without the driver aboard. The cut-off line should be projected in the allowable range (shaded region).
