HEADLIGHT AIMING

M1540100500490

PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS (LOW-BEAM)

1. Inspect for rusted or faulty headlight assemblies.
2. These conditions must be corrected before a satisfactory

adjustment can be made.

3. Inspect tire inflation, and adjust if necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in the trunk of the

vehicle to simulate weight of a full tank [3 kg (6.6 pounds)
per gallon].

5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other than

driver or substituted weight of approximately 68 kg (150
pounds) placed in driver's position.

6. Turn the headlight leveling switch to the switch position "0."

7. Thoroughly clean headlight lenses.
8. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to a flat

screen 7.62 m (25.0 ft) away from the bulb center-marks on
the headlight lens.

9. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume its normal

position.

10.Bounce the front suspension through three (3) oscillations

by applying the body weight to hood or bumper.

11.Set the distance between the screen and the bulb center

marks of the headlight as shown in the illustration.

12.Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent markings) are

required on screen or wall:

(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is aligned with

the vehicle center line.

(2) Measure the distance from the center-marks on the

headlight lens to the floor. Transfer the measurement to
the screen. Horizontal tape or mark on the screen is for
reference of vertical adjustment.

(3) Measure the distance from the center line of the vehicle

to the center of each headlight. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Vertical tape or mark on the
screen with reference to the center line of each headlight
bulb.

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT (LOW-BEAM)

CAUTION

• Do not cover a headlight for more than three minutes to

prevent the plastic headlight lens deformation.

• Be sure to adjust the aiming adjustment screw in the

tightening direction.

1. The low-beam headlight will project on the screen upper

edge of the beam (cut-off).

LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENT

M1540100600174

1. Set the headlights to high-beam.
2. Using a photometer, and following its manufacturer's

instruction manual, measure the headlight center intensity
and check to be sure that the limit value is satisfied.

Limit: 40,000 cd or more {When a screen is set 18.3m
(60 feet) ahead of the vehicle}

NOTE: When measuring the intensity, maintain an engine
speed of 2,000 r/min, with the battery fully charged.
There may be special local regulations pertaining to headlight
intensity. Be sure to make any adjustments necessary to satisfy
such regulations.
If an illuminometer is used to make the measurements, convert
its values to photometer values by using the following formula.

I =E

× r

• I = intensity (cd)

• E = illumination (lux)

• r = distance (m) from headlights to illuminometer

<VEHICLES WITHOUT DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT>

CAUTION

Do not touch the bulb surface with bare hands or dirty
gloves. If the bulb surface (glass part) gets dirty, immedi-
ately clean it with alcohol or thinner. After drying com-
pletely, install the bulb.
Disconnect the connector, and twist the headlight bulb
(low-beam) to remove.
