HEADLIGHT AIMING
Before checking the headlight aiming:
- Be sure that the area around the headlights has not sustained any accident damage or other type of deformation.
- Park the vehicle on level ground.
- Check the tires for correct inflation pressure.
- Make certain that the vehicle's gas tank is full and that someone is seated in the driver's seat.
- Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension.
NOTE:
- Adjust vertical aim first, then horizontal aim.
- If headlight location is slightly shifted due to body deformity, etc., repair surface to be mated with headlight.
1. Look at the beam angle gauge (vertical movement). The bubble on the gauge should not deviate from the center of the gauge.
2. Look at the beam angle gauge (horizontal movement). The center mark (the red line on the inner scale) should not deviate from the red line on the outer case.
