Headlamp: Adjustments

Headlight Adjustment

CAUTION: Headlights become very hot during use; do not touch them or any attaching hardware immediately after they have been turned off.

Before adjusting the headlights:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Make sure the tire pressures are correct.
- Have the driver or someone who weights the same sit in the driver's seat.




1. Clean the outer lens so that you can see the center of the headlights.




2. Park the vehicle 25 ft (7.5 m) away from a wall or a screen (A).
3. Turn the low beams on.




4. Determine if the headlights are aimed properly.

Vertical adjustment:
Measure the height of the headlights (A). The lights should reflect 52 mm (2.1 in.) below headlight height (B).




5. If necessary, open the hood and adjust the headlights to local requirements by turning the vertical adjuster.
