- Place vehicle and screen on level surface.

- Ensure there is no load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position). Coolant and engine oil filled to correct level, and fuel tank full.

- Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.

- Aim each headlamp individually and ensure other headlamp beam pattern is blocked from screen.
