FRONT END HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. Check the surface height between the hood and each part by visual and tactile feeling.
2. Remove the front grille. Refer to 

EXT-16, "Removal and Installation"

.

3. Remove the hood lock.
4. Adjust the surface level difference of the hood, fender and head

lamp by rotating the hood bumpers until the hood becomes 1 to

1.5 mm (0.04 to 0.059 in) lower than the fender.

5. Install and align the hood lock center with the center of the hood striker. Engage the lock with the striker

and check for looseness. 

6. Adjust A and B shown in the figure to the following value with hood's own weight by dropping it from

approx. 200 mm (7.87 in) height or by pressing the hood closed lightly (approx. 29 N (3 kg)).

7. After adjustment tighten the hood lock bolts to the specified torque.

LATERAL/LONGITUDUNAL CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT

1. Check the clearance between the hood and each part by visual and tactile feeling.
2. Loosen the hood hinge bolts.

NOTE:

 The anticorrosive agent applied between the hoodledge and the hood hinges also acts as an adhesive.

This seal must be broken before the hinges will move.

3. Move the hood so that the clearance measurements are within specifications.
