160 ± 16 N·m

NOTE:

For vehicles with aluminum type wheels, attach the

camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the driveshaft by using the
special tool MB991004. Tighten the special tool MB991004 to
the same torque 245 ± 29 N·m (181 ± 21 ft-lb) as the
driveshaft nut.

ADJUSTMENT

M40800000100USA0000010000

Before the wheel alignment measurement, adjust the rear
suspension, wheel, and tires in good condition.

Park the vehicle on a level surface to measure the wheel
alignment.

TOE-IN

Standard value: 3 ± 2 mm (0.12 ± 0.08 inch)

If it is out of the standard range, adjust as follows:

Toe adjusting bolt

Turn the toe adjusting bolt (the mounting bolt inside the body on
the control link) to adjust.

Left wheels: Clockwise → (+) Toe in
Right wheels: Clockwise → (-) Toe in

Toe-in varies approximately 2.6 mm (0.10inch) (equivalent to 0°
16' of the toe angle for one side) for each scale mark.

NOTE:

｠

For FWD vehicles with aluminum wheels, attach the camber/
caster/kingpin gauge by using a compensator.

｠

For AWD vehicles with aluminum wheels, tighten the wheel
alignment gauge attachment (Special tool: MB991004) to the
specified torque, then measure the camber.

｠

The camber is pre-adjusted at factory and is not adjustable.

HEADLIGHT AIMING

M40800000110USA0000010000

PRE-AIMING INSTRACTIONS (LOW-BEAM)

Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlight assemblies.

These conditions must be corrected before a satisfactory
adjustment can be made.

Inspect tire inflation, and adjust if it is necessary.

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].

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.

Thoroughly clean headlight lenses.

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.

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

Bounce the front suspension through three (3) oscillations by
applying the body weight to hood or bumper.

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 [ reference value: 828 mm (3.26
inches)]. 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)

NOTE:

When adjusting headlight, disconnect the other

headlight harness.

The low beam headlight will project on the screen upper edge
of the beam (cut-off).

Turn the adjusting screws to achieve the specified low-beam
cut-off location on the aiming screen.

Standard value:

(Vertical direction) Horizontal line (H) ± 50.5 mm (±
2.0 inches) (0.38 degrees angle)
(Horizontal direction): ± 126.4 mm (± 5.0 inches) (±
0.95 degrees angle) from the axis, which is 266.1
mm (10.5 inches) (2 degrees angle) rightward from
the vertical line (V)

Do not cover a headlight for more than three minutes to
prevent the plastic headlight lens deformation.

NOTE:

High-beam pattern should be correct when the low-

beams are adjusted properly.
