SECTION THREE / SECTION FOUR
3.1 AREA / VEHICLE SETUP
The aiming area floor should be relatively clean and dry with no unusually uneven areas which could affect the positioning of the vehicle or aimer.
Drive the vehicle to be checked into the aiming area, set the parking brake.
Vehicle preparation should include the following:
* Remove ice or mud from under fenders.
* See that no tire is noticeably deflated.
* Check vehicle springs for sag or broken leaves.
* See that there is no unusual load in the vehicle.
* Check functioning of "level ride" control, if applicable.
* Clean lamp lenses.
* Check for bulb burn-out, proper beam switching, and moisture condensation inside headlamp assembly. If condensation is present, replace
lamp assembly.
* Stabilize suspension by rocking vehicle sideways.
Although the Vision 1 Aimer can "aim" the headlamps of a vehicle, with the motor idling, it is recommended that the engine be turned off during
the aiming process. The vehicle headlamps must be on. Locate the horizontal and vertical adjustment screws. For some vehicles, the hood may
need to be raised to access adjustment screws.
4.1 FEATURES
4.2 SELF TEST:
This feature is a diagnostic routine initiated by the computer at power up. The computer checks
various operation functions, active memory, calibration, any installed options, and video system.
The Vision 1™ is designed so that once the factory calibration has been performed the unit cannot
become "un-calibrated" unless the unit has sustained physical damage. The calibration is checked
as part of the power-up self test.
If a calibration problem is noted, the monitor will display the error. Should the monitor display an
error message upon start-up, reference the trouble-shooting guide, Section Seven. If corrective
action does not rectify problem, contact a HOPPY® Customer Service representative at 1-800-390-
7904 for corrective action.
