You can improve poor wiper quality by
cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield.

Vertical Aim Adjustment

1.

Park your vehicle directly in front of a
wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.

2. Measure the height from the center of

your headlamp (indicated by a 3.0
millimeter circle on the lens) 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).

Note: To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the light
from one headlamp while adjusting the
other.

3. Switch on the low beam headlamps to

illuminate the wall or screen and open
the hood. Cover one of the headlamps
so no light hits the wall.
