FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
It is possible that a fog light unit is incorrectly installed, affecting fog light aim. Fog light unit installation should be considered prior to performing the adjustment procedure.

PROCEDURE

PREPARE VEHICLE FOR FOG LIGHT AIM ADJUSTMENT
1. Prepare the vehicle:
  - Ensure that there is no damage or deformation to the vehicle 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.

PREPARE FOR FOG LIGHT AIMING

except China:

Prepare the vehicle:
- *a 90°
  
  *b 25 m or 3 m
  
  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 fog lights can be observed and above which it cannot.
- Place the vehicle at a 90° angle to the wall.
- *a Base point Mark
  
  Create a 25 m (82 ft.) distance between the vehicle (base point marks of fog light) and the wall.
- Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface.
- Position the front wheels straight ahead.
- Bounce the vehicle up and down to settle the suspension.
Note

A distance of 25 m (82 ft.) between the vehicle (base point marks of fog light) 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 fog light aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)
for China:

Prepare the vehicle:
- *a 90°
  
  *b 10 m or 3 m
  
  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 fog lights can be observed and above which it cannot.
- Place the vehicle at a 90° angle to the wall.
- *a Base point Mark
  
  Create a 10 m (32.8 ft.) distance between the vehicle (base point marks of fog light) and the wall.
- Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface.
- Position the front wheels straight ahead.
- Bounce the vehicle up and down to settle the suspension.
Note

A distance of 10 m (32.8 ft.) between the vehicle (base point marks of fog light) 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 fog light aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)
Prepare a piece of thick white paper (approximately 2 m (6.56 ft.) (height) x 4 m (13.1 ft.) (width)) to use as a screen.
Draw a vertical line down the center of the screen (V line).
except China:

Set the screen as shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
- Stand the screen perpendicular to the ground.
- Align the V line on the screen with the center of the vehicle.
for China:

Set the screen as shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
- Stand the screen perpendicular to the ground.
- Align the V line on the screen with the center of the vehicle.

*a	V LH Line
*b	V Line
*c	V RH Line
*d	H Line
*e	Ground

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

Tech Tips

Mark the aiming marks on the screen.

H Line (Fog light height):

Draw a horizontal line across the screen so that it passes through the base point marks. The H line should be at the same height as the base point marks of the fog lights.
V LH Line, V RH Line (Base point mark position of left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) fog lights):

Draw 2 vertical lines so that they intersect the H line at each base point mark (aligned with the base point marks of the fog lights).

INSPECT FOG LIGHT AIMING
1. Cover 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.
2. Start the engine.
3. except China:
  
  Turn on the fog lights and check if the upper edge of the hot zone for each fog light matches the upper edge as shown in the illustration.
  Tech Tips
  
  If the alignment distance is 25 m (82 ft.):
  
  The upper edge of the hot zone for the fog light should be 376 mm (1.24 ft.) below the H line.
  
  If the alignment distance is 3 m (9.84 ft.):
  
  The upper edge of the hot zone for the fog light should be 46 mm (1.78 in.) below the H line.
4. for China:
  
  Turn on the fog light and check if the cutoff line falls within the specified area in the following illustration.
  Tech Tips
  
  If the alignment distance is 10 m (32.8 ft.):
  
  The upper edge of the hot zone for the fog light should be 150 mm (5.90 in.) below the H line.
  
  If the alignment distance is 3 m (9.84 ft.):
  
  The upper edge of the hot zone for the fog light should be 46 mm (1.78 in.) below the H line.
ADJUST FOG LIGHT AIMING
1. *a Service Hole
  
  *b Aiming Screw
  
  Adjust the aim vertically:
  
  Adjust the aim of each fog light to the specified range by turning each aiming screw with a screwdriver insert from the service hole.
  
  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
  
  If it is not possible to correctly adjust the fog light aim, check the fog light assembly, fog light unit installation.
