Headlamp Aiming

The vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aiming
system. The aim has been preset at the factory and
should need no further adjustment.

However, if the vehicle is damaged in a crash, the
headlamp aim may be affected and adjustment may be
necessary.

If oncoming vehicles flash their high beams at you, this
may also mean the vertical aim needs to be adjusted.

It is recommended that the vehicle is taken to your
dealer for service if the headlamps need to be re-aimed.
It is possible however, to re-aim the headlamps as
described.

The vehicle should:

.

Be placed so the headlamps are 25 ft. (7.6 m) from
a light colored wall.

.

Have all four tires on a level surface which is level
all the way to the wall.

.

Be placed so it is perpendicular to the wall or other
flat surface.

.

Not have any snow, ice, or mud on it.

.

Be fully assembled and all other work stopped
while headlamp aiming is being performed.

.

Normally loaded with a full tank of fuel and one
person or 160 lbs (75 kg) sitting on the driver seat.

.

Have all tires properly inflated.

.

Have the spare tire is in its original location in the
vehicle.

Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle's low-beam
headlamps. The high-beam headlamps will be correctly
aimed if the low-beam headlamps are aimed properly.
