PRECAUTIONS

  1. Before removing and installing parts, always disconnect the battery ground cable. When replacing radio, control module, and other parts provided with memory functions, record memory contents before disconnecting the battery ground cable. Otherwise, the memory will be erased.
  2. Reassemble in reverse order of disassembly, unless otherwise indicated.
  3. Adjust parts to the given specifications.
  4. Connect the connectors and hoses securely during reassembly.

HEADLIGHT AIMING

Note. As this headlight is the "VISUAL AIMING TYPE", it is possible to adjust aiming only in the vertical direction. It cannot be adjusted in the horizontal direction.

CAUTIONTurn off the light before adjusting headlight aiming. If the light is necessary to check aiming, do not turn on for more than two minutes.

Note. Before checking the headlight aiming, be sure of the following: The area around the headlight has not sustained any accident, damage or other type of deformation. Vehicle is parked on level ground. The inflation pressure of tires is correct. Vehicle's gas tank is fully charged. Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension. Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.

  1. Place a cloth over the headlight that does not require aiming adjustment.
  2. Turn the headlight on and then adjust the low beam pattern to the following positions on the screen.
CAUTIONDo not perform lateral headlight aiming adjustment.

Note. Adjust the headlight aiming by turning the adjusting screw (A).
