Headlamp: Adjustments
AIMINGUse the vertical-horizontal aiming method for normal headlight aim adjustment. If the vehicle has been damaged in a collision, restore the headlights to their correct position before aiming them.
Vertical/horizontal Aiming Method 626
1. Measure the tire air pressure when the tire is cold. Adjust the pressure to specification, if necessary.
Air pressure
Front: 216 kPa {2.2 kgf/cm2, 31 psi}
Rear: 177 kPa {1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 psi}
2. Fill the fuel tank and remove excess cargo.
3. Position the unloaded vehicle on a flat level surface.
4. Position the vehicle straight ahead to the headlight tester. Set the distance between the headlight and the tester to 7.6 m {25 ft}.
5. Disconnect the connector of the other headlight.
6. Adjust the up/down position of the headlight by using the vertical aiming gauge. Make sure the bubble in the gauge is within two lines on either side of the center "0".
7. Pull up the clip.
8. Push gear A toward the front of the vehicle until gears A and B disengage.
9. Turn the headlights on at low beam.
10. By using a screwdriver, turn gear B to carry out horizontal aiming. The left edge of the figure projected on the tester screen must be aligned with the vertical axis as shown.
11. Turn gear A to align the aiming points.
12. Push the clip down until gears A and B engage.
13. Do this procedure for both RH and LH headlights.
Note: When the headlights are correctly adjusted by following the above steps, simplified aiming by just turning gear B to align aiming points

1. Measure the tire air pressure when the tire is cold. Adjust the pressure to specification, if necessary
Air pressure
Front: 216 kPa {2.2 kgf/cm2, 31 psi}
Rear: 177 kPa {1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 psi}
2. Position the unloaded vehicle on a flat, level surface.
3. Turn the adjusting screws as shown in the figure to adjust the headlights. Use a "HOPPY" brand aimer or equivalent to aim the headlights to specification numbers 16H-26V (found on the headlight lens).
