Headlamp Unit Alignment - Export

VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR HEADLAMP UNIT ALIGNMENT
1. Verify the headlamp switch is in the low beam setting.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with a headlamp leveling system, be certain the headlamp leveling switch is in the "0" position.
3. Correct defective components that could hinder proper headlamp alignment.
4. Verify proper tire inflation.
5. Clean headlamp lenses.
6. Verify that luggage area is loaded as the vehicle is routinely used.
7. Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5 lbs.) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated gallon of missing fuel.

ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION FOR HEADLAMP UNIT ALIGNMENT
1. Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 10 meters (32.8 ft) away from front of headlamp lens.
2. If necessary, tape a line on the floor 10 meters (32.8 ft) away from and parallel to the wall.
3. Place 75 kg in the drivers seat to simulate the ride height of the vehicle when driven.

4. Measure from the floor up 1.27 meters (5 ft) and tape a line on the wall at the centerline of the vehicle (Fig. 30). Sight along the centerline of the vehicle (from rear of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of the line placement.
5. Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow suspension to stabilize.
6. Jounce front suspension three times by pushing downward on front bumper and releasing.
7. Measure the distance from the center of headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/down adjustment reference (this should be 623 mm (24.5 in.).
8. Place a tape line 100 mm (4 in.) below and parallel to the center of headlamp line (Fig. 30).
9. Measure distance from the centerline of the vehicle to the center of each headlamp unit being aligned. Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/right adjustment reference (this should be 1338.5 mm (52.7 in.) ).

HEADLAMP UNIT ADJUSTMENT
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project a high intensity light pattern on the screen with the horizontal cut-off line aligned with the tape line 100 mm (4 in.) below the headlamp centerline (Fig. 30). The intersection of the horizontal and 15 degree cutoff lines in the projected pattern should align to the intersection of the headlamp centerline vertical tape line and the tape line 100 mm (4 in.) below the headlamp horizontal centerline.

NOTE:
- The vehicles low beam headlamps must be ON during the headlamp alignment procedure. The high beam pattern will be correct when the low beams are aligned properly.
- The headlamp leveling switch must be in the "0" position. Failure to do so will result in improperly adjusted headlamps.

To adjust headlamp unit alignment, rotate alignment screws to achieve the specified low beam hot spot pattern (Fig. 30).
