*a 25 or 3 m

Prepare the vehicle (except China and Taiwan):
- 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 (82.0 ft.) distance between the vehicle (headlight bulb center) and wall.
- Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface.
- Bounce the vehicle up and down to settle the suspension.
Note

A distance of 25 m (82.0 ft.) between the vehicle (headlight bulb center) and wall is necessary for proper aim adjustment. If unavailable, secure a distance of exactly 3 m (9.84 ft.) for the check and adjustment (the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration).

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 name of the manufacturer marked on the headlight as the center mark.

H Line (Headlight):

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.
V LH Line, V RH Line (Center mark position of the 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).

INSPECT HEADLIGHT AIMING

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.

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.

*B	w/o Headlight Leveling
*1	Vertical Aiming
*2	Horizontal Aiming
*3	Screwdriver

Adjust the aim vertically:

Adjust the aim of each headlight to the specified range by turning each aiming screw 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 make sure.
If it is not possible to correctly adjust headlight aim, check the bulb, headlight unit and headlight unit reflector installation.
The headlight aim moves up when turning the vertical aiming screw clockwise, and moves down when turning the vertical aiming screw counterclockwise. The headlight aim moves right when turning the horizontal aiming screw clockwise, and moves left when turning the horizontal aiming screw counterclockwise.
Confirm the direction of rotation of the aiming screw by observing it while it is being adjusted. Due to the position of the screwdriver, the direction of rotation of the adjusting screw can be different than the direction of rotation of the screwdriver being used to adjust it.

Adjust the aim horizontally:

Adjust the aim of each headlight to the specified range by turning each aiming screw 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.
