ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS

properly aimed at the assembly plant. If
your vehicle has been in an accident, the
alignment of your headlamps should be
checked by your authorized dealer.

Vertical Aim Adjustment Procedure

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 of the headlamp

bulb center from the ground and mark
an 8 foot (2.4 meter) horizontal
reference line on the vertical wall or
screen at this height.

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.

4. On the wall or screen you will observe

a flat zone of high intensity light
located at the top of the right hand
portion of the beam pattern. If the top
edge of the high intensity light zone is
not at the horizontal reference line, the
headlamp will need to be adjusted.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each

headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in order
to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp. The horizontal edge of the
brighter light should touch the
horizontal reference line.

6. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
