Headlight Aiming Adjustment With Screen

NOTE:
  • Unless otherwise obligated by local regulations, adjust headlight aiming according to the following procedure.
  • After replacing headlight housing, be sure to adjust aiming.
  1. Make sure the following items.
    • Place vehicle on a flat surface in front of blank wall (screen) (1) ahead of headlight surface.

      Distance "a" 

      10 m (32.8 ft.) 

    • Adjust air pressure of all tires to the specified value respectively.
    • Bounce vehicle body up and down by hand to stabilize suspension.
    • Carry out aiming with a driver aboard.

  2. Check to see if hot spot (high intensity zone) of each low beam axis falls as shown in figure.
    NOTE: If the headlights interfere each other and make it hard to see the cut line clearly, cover the head light on one side. This helps to make aiming adjustment easier.

    Hot spot specification 

    Angle "b": 0.4° (Specification) 

    Calculated distance "H": Approx. 70 mm (2.75 in.) 

    If vertical aiming is not set properly, align it to specification by adjusting aiming gear.

    If horizontal aiming is out of specification, check headlight installation or vehicle body panel bending.
