Head Lamp Aiming Instructions

The head lamps should be aimed with the proper beam-setting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Note. If there are any regulations pertinent to the aiming of head lamps in the area where the vehicle is to be used, adjust so as to meet those requirements.

Alternately turn the adjusting gear to adjust the head lamp aiming. If beam-setting equipment is not available, proceed as follows

Scheme 46

1. Inflate the tires to the specified pressure and remove any loads from the vehicle except the driver, spare tire, and tools.
2. The vehicle should be placed on a flat floor.
3. Draw vertical lines (Vertical lines passing through respective head lamp centers) and a horizontal line (Horizontal line passing through center of head lamps) on the screen.
4. With the head lamp and battery in normal condition, aim the head lamps so the brightest portion falls on the horizontal and vertical lines. Horizontal (HI & LOW)

Front Fog Lamp Aiming

The front fog lamps should be aimed as the same manner of the head lamps aiming.

With the front fog lamps and battery normal condition, aim the front fog lamps by turning the adjusting screw (A) with a driver.

5. Installation is the reverse of removal. NOTE: Turn the head lamp switch off to avoid high voltage. CAUTION: HID lamp shall not be used on other cars. (Fire may occur.) Fire may occur when HID lamp initially lights due to the fact that arc-discharge generates high voltage (max. 20, 000 V) and high current (12-13A), and are different from the halogen lamp specification. Install the dust cover after confirming the locking state between bulb and bulb holder. When testing the HID head lamp, turn the power on or off with switch between power supply and lamp because of high voltage. Do not operate the head lamp switch with the bulb not installed, because it generates spark momently.
