(The target zone will change with the distance so follow the instructions in the illustration.)

(e) Draw base lines (H line, V LH, V RH lines) on the screen as shown in the illustration.

PREPARATION FOR HEADLAMP AIMING (Using a screen)


HINT:

  1.  H Line (Headlamp 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 headlamp bulb center marks of the low-beam headlamps.
  2.  V LH Line, V RH Line (Center mark position of lefthand (LH) and right-hand (RH) headlamps): Draw two vertical lines so that they intersect the H Line at each center mark (aligned with the center of the low-beam headlamp bulbs).

3. HEADLAMP AIMING INSPECTION

(a) Cover or disconnect the connector of the headlamp on the opposite side to prevent light from the headlamp not being inspected from affecting headlamp aiming inspection.

NOTICE: Do not keep the headlamp covered for more than 3 minutes. The headlamp 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. (b) Start the engine.

NOTICE: Engine rpm must be 1,500 or more.

(c) Turn on the headlamp and make sure that the cutoff line falls within the specified area, as shown in the illustration.

HINT: Since the low-beam light and the high-beam light are a unit, if the aim on one is correct, the other should also be correct. However, check both beams just to make sure.
