Headlamp Alignment
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Due to the linear nature of the headlamp cutoff, a properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the top edge of the high intensity pattern on the alignment screen from the horizontal line to 50 millimeters (2 inches) below the horizontal line for domestic market vehicles, or to 125 millimeters (5 inches) below the horizontal line for export market vehicles. No horizontal (right/left) adjustment is required for this headlamp beam pattern in domestic market vehicles. Export market vehicles have a second horizontal (right/left) adjustment screw provided. The high beam pattern will be correct when the low beams are properly aimed.
- Turn the headlamps ON and select the LOW beams for vehicles in all markets.
- On all vehicles except those with headlamp leveling, use a screwdriver to rotate the headlamp vertical adjustment screw (2) on the back of the front lamp unit just inboard of the fender and forward of the upper radiator crossmember (1) to adjust the beam height as required.
- For export markets only, use a screwdriver to rotate the headlamp horizontal adjustment screw on each headlamp to adjust the beam right or left as required.
