  5. PREPARE FOR FOG LIGHT AIMING


    1. A01JBXWE03

      Prepare the vehicle (except Taiwan and Indonesia):


      • 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.

      • 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.

      • 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 (fog light 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 fog light aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)

    2. A01JBXWE01

      Prepare the vehicle (for Taiwan and Indonesia):


      • 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.

      • Create a 10 m (32.8 ft.) distance between the vehicle (fog light bulb center) 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 (fog light 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 fog light aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)

    3. 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.

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

    5. Set the screen as shown in the illustration (except Taiwan and Indonesia).

      Tech Tips

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


      1. H Line (Fog light 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 fog light bulb center marks of the fog lights.

      2. V LH Line, V RH Line (Center mark position of left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) fog lights):

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

  6. INSPECT FOG LIGHT AIMING


    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.
