Adjustment Procedure
Proper road illumination and safety require the fog lamps to be aimed.
The front fog lamp aim should be checked when a new front fog lamp assembly
is installed, or if any service repairs have been performed to the vehicle
which disturb the front fog lamp mounting or the vehicle ride height.
There are no horizontal adjustments for aiming the front fog lamp assemblies
on this vehicle.
- To ensure accurate vertical
front fog lamp aiming, first perform the following steps to prepare the vehicle.
• | Make sure that all the components are in place on the vehicle,
the tires are properly inflated, and there is not any mud or snow clinging
to the vehicle. |
• | Stop all other operations of work on the vehicle. |
• | Make sure the fuel level is 1/2 full or more. |
• | Jounce the vehicle in order to settle the suspension. |
• | Place the vehicle on a level surface 7.6 m (25 ft)
from the target screen. |
• | Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the fog lamp (5). |
• | Using this measurement, mark the horizontal centerline of the
fog lamp (1) on the target screen directly in front of the vehicle. |
• | Start the vehicle in order to level the suspension. |
- Set the park brake.
- Turn the front fog lamps ON.
- Loosen the side fasteners on the fog lamp bracket in order to
make the adjustment.
- Use the adjustment screw (plastic wing nut) in order to
make the adjustment.
- Adjust the fog lamp up or down until the top edge of the high
intensity zone on the screen is 102 mm (4 in) below (2)
the horizontal centerline (1).
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Secure the fog lamp
bracket fasteners.
Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 6 N·m (53 lb in).
- Re-check the adjustment.
- Turn OFF the front fog lamps.
- Release the park brake.
