Headlamp Aiming
The headlamp aiming system has been preset at the factory.
If the vehicle is damaged in an accident, the aim of the headlamps can be affected and adjustment could be necessary.
It is recommended that a dealer adjust the headlamps. To re-aim the headlamps yourself, use the following procedure.
The vehicle should be properly prepared as follows:
The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps are 7.6 m (25 ft) from a light-colored wall.
The vehicle must have all four tires on a level surface which is level all the way to the wall.
The vehicle should be placed so it is perpendicular to the wall.
The vehicle should not have any snow, ice, or mud on it.
The vehicle should be fully assembled and all other work stopped while headlamp aiming is being performed.
The vehicle should be normally loaded with a full tank of fuel and one person or 75 kg (160 lbs) sitting on the
driver seat.
Tires should be properly inflated.
Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle's low-beam headlamps. The high-beam headlamps will be correctly aimed if
the low-beam headlamps are aimed properly.
To adjust the vertical aim:
1. Open the hood. See Hood for more information.
