AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized dealer.

Vertical aim adjustment

1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level

surface, approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.

(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)

(2) Center height of lamp to
ground

(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)

(4) Horizontal reference line

2. Measure the height from the

center of your headlamp to the
ground and mark an 8 foot
(2.4 meter) horizontal reference
line on the vertical wall or
screen at this height (a piece of masking tape works well). The
center of the lamp is marked by a 3 mm circle on the headlamp lens.

3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen

and open the hood. Cover the left-hand headlamp with an opaque
cloth.

4. On the wall or screen you will

observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge of high
intensity light towards the right.
If this edge is not at the
horizontal reference line, the
beam will need to be adjusted.
