Headlamp Unit Alignment - Export

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
1. Verify headlamps are on low setting.
2. Verify that the headlamp leveling switch is in the "0" position.
3. Inspect and correct damaged or defective components that could interfere with 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

Headlamp Alignment Screen - Export:

1. Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 10 meters (32.8 ft.) away from front of headlamp lens.
2. Place 75 kg in the driver's seat to simulate the ride height of the vehicle when driven.
3. If necessary, tape a line on the floor 10 meters (32.8 ft.) away from and parallel to the wall.
4. From the floor up 1.27 meters (5 ft.), tape a line on the wall at the centerline of the vehicle. 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 and 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.
8. Place a tape line 130 mm below and parallel to the center of headlamp line.
9. Measure distance from the centerline of the vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned. Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/ right adjustment reference.

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
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 130 mm (5.12 in.) below the headlamp centerline. The intersection of the horizontal and 15 degree cut-off lines in the projected pattern should align to the intersection of the headlamp centerline vertical tape line and the tape line 130 mm (5.12 in.) below the headlamp horizontal centerline. The high beam pattern should be correct when the low beams are aligned properly.

Headlamp Alignment Screws:

To adjust headlamp alignment, rotate alignment screws to achieve the specified low beam hot spot pattern.
