HEADLAMP AIMING

M4080011000412

PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS <LOW
BEAM>

1. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlamp

assemblies.

2. These conditions must be corrected before a

satisfactory adjustment can be made.

3. Inspect tyre inflation, and adjust if it is necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in luggage

room of the vehicle to simulate weight of a full
tank (0.8 kg per litre).

5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other

than driver or substituted weight of approximately
75 kg placed in driver's position.

6. Thoroughly clean the headlamp lenses.
7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to

a flat screen 10 m away from the bulb
centre-marks on the headlamp lens.

8. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume

its normal position.

9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3)

oscillations by applying the body weight to hood
or bumper.

10.Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent

markings) are required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is

aligned with the vehicle centre line.

(2) Measure the distance from the centre-marks

on the headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or
mark on the screen is for reference of vertical
adjustment.

NOTE: Height from the floor to the centre of
the headlamps (Reference value): 840 mm

(3) Measure the distance from the centre line of

the vehicle to the centre of each headlamp.
Transfer the measurement to the screen.

HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT <LOW BEAM>

CAUTION

• Do not cover a headlamp for more than three

minutes to prevent the plastic headlamp lens
deformation.

• When adjusting one headlamp beam, make

sure that another headlamp is off by discon-
necting the connector from it. When recon-
necting the connector, make sure that the
headlamp beam is not disturbed accidentally.

1. The low-beam headlamp should project on the

screen upper edge of the beam (cut-off).
