HEADLIGHT AIMING

M15410900017USA0000010000

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.

Thoroughly clean headlight lenses.

7.

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.

8.

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

9.

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

Set  the  distance  between  the  screen  and  the  bulb  center
marks of the headlight as shown in the illustration.

11.

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.

1.

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.

LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENT

M15410900018USA0000010000

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.

LIGHTING

54Ac-167

HEADLIGHT

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 × r2Where:

｠

I = intensity (cd)

｠

E = illumination (lux)

｠

r = distance (m) from headlights to illuminometer
