8. VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR HEADLIGHT AIM ADJUSTMENT |
Adjust the aim vertically:
Adjust the headlight aim into the specified range by turning aiming screw A with a screwdriver.- NOTICE:
- The final turn of the aiming screw should be made in the clockwise direction. If the screw is tightened excessively, loosen and then retighten it so that the final turn of the screw is in the clockwise direction.
- HINT:
- Perform the low-beam aim adjustment.
- The headlight aim moves up when turning the aiming screw clockwise, and moves down when turning the aiming screw counterclockwise.

Adjust the aim horizontally:
Adjust the headlight aim into the specified range by turning aiming screw B with a screwdriver.- NOTICE:
- The final turn of the aiming screw should be made in the clockwise direction. If the screw is tightened excessively, loosen and then retighten it, so that the final turn of the screw is in the clockwise direction.
- HINT:
- Perform the low-beam aim adjustment.

9. PREPARATION FOR HEADLIGHT AIMING |
![]() |
Prepare the vehicle according to the following conditions:
- Place the vehicle in a location that is dark enough to clearly observe the cutoff line.
- 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.
- Place the vehicle on a level surface.
- Bounce the vehicle up and down to settle the suspension.
- NOTICE:
- A distance of 25 m (82 ft.) between the vehicle (headlight bulb center) and the wall is necessary for proper aim adjustment. If unavailable, secure a distance of exactly 3 m (9.84 ft.) for check and adjustment. (The target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)
- Place the vehicle in a location that is dark enough to clearly observe the cutoff line.
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.
Draw a vehicle center line down the center of the screen (V line).
- HINT:
- Stand the screen perpendicular to the ground.
- Align the V line on the screen with the center of the vehicle.
Set the screen as shown in the illustration.
Draw base lines (H line, V LH, V RH lines) on the screen as shown in the illustration.
- HINT:
- 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.
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.V LH Line, V RH Line (Center mark position 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).

10. HEADLIGHT AIMING INSPECTION |
Cover or disconnect the connector of the headlight on the opposite side to prevent light from the head-light not being inspected from affecting the headlight aiming inspection.
- NOTICE:
- Do not keep the headlight covered for more than 3 minutes. The headlight lens is made of synthetic resin, and may easily melt or be damaged due to heat.
- HINT:
- When checking the aim of the high-beam, cover the low-beam or disconnect the connector.
Start the engine.
- NOTICE:
- Engine rpm must be 1,500 or more.
w/ headlight leveling switch:
Set the headlight leveling switch to 0 (zero).
Turn on the headlight and make sure that the cutoff line falls within the specified area, as shown in the illustration.
- HINT:
- Alignment distance is 25 m (82 ft.):
The cutoff line is 48 mm (1.88 in.) to 698 mm (27.48 in.) below the H line with low-beam. - Alignment distance is 3 m (9.84 ft.):
The cutoff line is 6 mm (0.23 in.) to 84 mm (3.3 in.) below the H line with low-beam. - Alignment distance is 25 m (82 ft.):
The cutoff line is 249 mm (9.8 in.) below the H line with low-beam. - Alignment distance is 3 m (9.84 ft.):
The cutoff line is 30 mm (1.88 in.) below the H line with low-beam. - Since the low-beam light and the high-beam light are a unit, if the aim of either one is correct, the other should also be correct. However, check both beams just to make sure.
11. HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT |
Adjust the aim vertically:

The fog light aim can be adjusted by moving the aiming screw in the vertical direction.
- HINT:
