Vertical Aim Adjustment Procedure
- Park your vehicle on level ground approximately 25 ft (7.6 m) from a wall
or screen.
- Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the headlamp beam
bulb and mark an 8 ft (2.4 m) long horizontal reference line on the wall or
screen at this height.
Note: There may be an identifying mark on the
lens to help you locate the center line of the headlamp beam bulb.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, you may want to
block the light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.
- Switch on the low beam headlamps and open the hood.
- On the wall or screen you will observe a flat zone of high intensity light
located at the top of the beam pattern. If the top edge of the flat zone of
high intensity light is not on the horizontal reference line, adjust the aim
of the headlamp beam.
- Use a suitable tool, for example a screwdriver or socket wrench, to turn
the adjuster clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp. The horizontal edge of the brighter light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
- Close the hood and switch off the lamps.
