      Torque:
      9.0 N*m  { 92 kgf*cm, 80 in.*lbf }

      Note


      • If the front airbag sensor has been dropped, or there are any cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace it with a new one.

      • When installing the front airbag sensor, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with other parts and that it is not pinched between other parts.

      • Make sure that the pin is securely inserted into the body hole.

      • Tighten the bolt while holding the front airbag sensor because the front airbag sensor claws and pin (stopper) are easily damaged.

    5. Check that there are no loose parts after installing the front airbag sensor.

  9. VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT


    1. Prepare the vehicle:


      • Ensure that there is no damage or deformation to the body around the headlights.

      • Fill the fuel tank.

      • Make sure that the oil is filled to the specified level.

      • Make sure that the engine coolant is filled to the specified level.

      • Inflate the tires to the appropriate pressure.

      • Unload the trunk and vehicle, ensuring that the spare tire, tools, and jack are in their original positions.

      • Sit a person of average weight (75 kg, 165 lb) in the driver's seat.

      • Vehicles with height adjustable suspension should set the vehicle height to the lowest setting prior to adjusting the headlight aim.

  10. PREPARATION FOR HEADLIGHT AIMING


    1. A017EN8E02

      Prepare the vehicle:


      • Place the vehicle in a location that is dark enough to clearly observe the cutoff line. The cutoff line is a distinct line, below which light from the headlights can be observed and above which it cannot.

      • Place the vehicle at a 90° angle to the wall.

      • Create a 25 m (82 ft.) distance between the vehicle (headlight bulb center) and the wall.

      • Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface.

      • Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to settle the suspension.

        Note

        A distance of 25 m (82 ft.) between the vehicle (headlight bulb center) and the wall is necessary for proper aim adjustment. If sufficient space is not available, secure a distance of exactly 3 m (9.84 ft.) to allow for checking and adjustment of headlight aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)

    2. Prepare a piece of thick white paper (approximately 2 m (6.6 ft.) (height) x 4 m (13.1 ft.) (width)) to use as a screen.

    3. Draw a vertical line down the center of the screen (V line).

    4. Set the screen as shown in the illustration.

      A017EHVE02

      Tech Tips


      • Stand the screen perpendicular to the ground.

      • Align the V line on the screen with the center of the vehicle.

    5. A017EY4E15

      Draw base lines (H, V LH, and V RH lines) on the screen as shown in the illustration.

      Tech Tips


      • The base lines differ for "low-beam inspection" and "high-beam inspection".

      • Mark the headlight bulb center marks on the screen. If the center mark cannot be observed on the headlight, use the center of the headlight bulb or the manufacturer's name marked on the headlight as the center mark.


      1. H Line (Headlight height):

        Draw a horizontal line across the screen so that it passes through the center marks. The H line should be at the same height as the headlight bulb center marks of the low-beam headlights.

      2. V LH Line, V RH Line (Center mark positions of left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) headlights):

        Draw two vertical lines so that they intersect the H line at each center mark (aligned with the center of the low-beam headlight bulbs).

  11. INSPECT HEADLIGHT AIMING


    1. Cover the headlight or disconnect the connector of the headlight on the opposite side to prevent light from the headlight that is not being inspected from affecting the headlight aiming inspection.

      Note

      Do not keep the headlight covered for more than 3 minutes. The headlight lens is made of synthetic resin, which may melt or be damaged due to excessive heat.

    2. Start the engine.

    3. Turn on the headlight and check if the cutoff line matches the preferred cutoff line in the following illustration.

      A017FN0E01

      Tech Tips


      • Since the low-beam light and the high-beam light are a unit, if the aim on the low-beam is correct, the high-beam should also be correct. However, check both beams to confirm.

      • If the alignment distance is 25 m (82 ft.):

        The low-beam cutoff line should be between 48 mm (1.9 in.) and 698 mm (27.5 in.) below the H line.

      • If the alignment distance is 3 m (9.84 ft.):

        The low beam cutoff line should be between 6 mm (0.2 in.) and 84 mm (3.3 in.) below the H line.

      • If the alignment distance is 25 m (82 ft.):

        The preferred low-beam cutoff line is 249 mm (9.8 in.) below the H line.

      • If the alignment distance is 3 m (9.84 ft.):

        The preferred low-beam cutoff line is 30 mm (1.2 in.) below the H line.

  12. ADJUST HEADLIGHT AIMING


    1. A017G8IE01

      Adjust the aim vertically:

      Adjust the aim of each headlight to the specified range by turning aiming screw A with a screwdriver.

      Note

      The final turn of the aiming screw should be made in the clockwise direction. If the screw is adjusted too far, loosen it and then retighten it so that the final turn of the screw is in the clockwise direction.

      Tech Tips


      • Since the low-beam light and the high-beam light are a unit, if the aim on the low-beam is correct, the high-beam should also be correct. However, check both beams just to confirm.

      • If it is not possible to correctly adjust the headlight aim, check the bulbs, headlight unit, and headlight unit reflector installation.

      • The headlight aim moves up when turning the aiming screw clockwise, and it moves down when turning the aiming screw counterclockwise.

    2. A017BSVE01

      Adjust the aim horizontally:

      Adjust the aim of each headlight to the specified range by turning aiming screw B with a screwdriver.

      Note

      The final turn of the aiming screw should be made in the clockwise direction. If the screw is tightened excessively, loosen it and then retighten it so that the final turn of the screw is in the clockwise direction.

      Tech Tips


      • Since the low-beam light and the high-beam light are a unit, if the aim on the low-beam is correct, the high-beam should also be correct. However, check both beams just to confirm.

      • If it is not possible to correctly adjust headlight aim, check the bulbs, headlight unit, and headlight unit reflector installation.

  13. VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR FOG LIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT (w/ Fog Light)


    1. Prepare the vehicle:


      • Ensure that that there is no damage or deformation to the body around the fog lights.

      • Fill the fuel tank.

      • Make sure that the oil is filled to the specified level.

      • Make sure that the engine coolant is filled to the specified level.

      • Inflate the tires to the appropriate pressure.

      • Unload the trunk and vehicle, ensuring that the spare tire, tools, and jack are in their original positions.

      • Sit a person of average weight (75 kg, 165 lb) in the driver's seat.

      • Vehicles with height adjustable suspension should set the vehicle height to the lowest setting prior to adjusting the fog light aim.

  14. PREPARATION FOR FOG LIGHT AIMING (w/ Fog Light)


    1. A017DLWE02

      • Place the vehicle at a 90° angle to the wall.

      • Create a 25 m (82 ft.) distance between the vehicle (fog light bulb center) and the wall.

      • Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface.

      • Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to settle the suspension.

        Draw two vertical lines so that they intersect the H line at each center mark aligned with the center of the fog light bulbs.

  15. INSPECT FOG LIGHT AIMING (w/ Fog Light)


    1. Cover the fog light or disconnect the connector of the fog light on the opposite side to prevent light from the fog light that is not being inspected from affecting the fog light aiming inspection.

      Note

      Do not keep the fog light covered for more than 3 minutes. The fog light lens is made of synthetic resin, which may melt or be damaged due to excessive heat.

    2. Start the engine.

    3. Turn on the fog light and check if the cutoff line falls within the specified area in the following illustration.
