ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are 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

The headlamps on your vehicle can only be vertically adjusted. Your
vehicle does not require horizontal aim adjustments.

To adjust the headlamps:

1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) away
from a vertical plain surface (3). Check your headlamp alignment at
night or in a dark area so that you can see the headlamp beam pattern.

• (1) 8 feet (2.4 m)
• (2) Center height of lamp to

ground

• (3) 25 feet (7.6 m)
• (4) Horizontal reference line

2. The center of the headlamp has a 3.0 mm circle on the lens. Measure
the height from the center of your headlamp to the ground (2) and mark
an 8 foot (2.4 m) long horizontal line on the plain surface (1) at this
height (masking tape works well).
