Lights
Headlight Aiming
The headlights were properly aimed
when your car was new. You should
check their aim if you regularly carry
heavy items in the trunk or pull a
trailer. Each headlight assembly has
horizontal and vertical adjustment
indicators. These are set to their
standard positions after the
headlights are aimed at the factory.
To check these settings:
1. Make sure the fuel tank is full.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. The driver or someone who
weighs the same should be sitting
in the driver's seat for all checks
and adjustments.
Load the trunk with the items you
normally carry.
HORIZONTAL ANGLE GAUGE
If you usually pull a trailer, load it as
you would normally and attach it to
the car. Push down on the front and
rear bumpers several times to make
sure the car is sitting normally.
3. Open the hood.
4. Check the horizontal angle gauge.
The line on the adjustment screw
indicator should line up with the
mark on the gauge.
5. Check the vertical angle gauge.
The bubble should be located
underneath the "0" mark on the
gauge.
