Notice: Horizontal aiming must be performed before making any adjustments to
the vertical aim. Adjusting the vertical aim first will result in an incorrect
headlamp aim.
To adjust the headlamp vertical aiming, do the following:
- Find the aim dot on the lens of the low
beam lamps.
- Measure the distance from the ground to the aim dot on each low beam lamp.
Record this distance.
- At the wall or other flat surface, measure from the ground upward the
recorded distance from Step 2 and draw or tape a horizontal line the width
of the vehicle.
- Turn
on the low-beam headlamps and place a piece of cardboard or equivalent in front of
the headlamp not being aimed. This should allow only the beam of light from the headlamp
being aimed to be seen on the flat surface.
Notice: Do not cover a headlamp to improve beam cut-off when aiming. Covering
a headlamp may cause excessive heat build-up which may cause damage to the
headlamp.
- Turn
the vertical aiming screw (V) until the headlamp beam is aimed to the horizontal
tape line. The top edge of the cut-off should be positioned at the bottom edge of
the horizontal tape line.
- Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the opposite headlamp.
