ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS

Vertical Aim Adjustment

The headlamps on your vehicle are
properly aimed at the assembly plant. If
your vehicle has been in an accident, have
the alignment of your headlamps checked
by an 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.

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. Turn 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.

4. There is a distinct cut-off (change from

light to dark) in the left portion of the
beam pattern. Position the top edge of
this cut-off 2 inches (5 centimeters)
below the horizontal reference line.
