Headlamp: Adjustments

LIGHTING SYSTEM




PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS
The headlamps should be aimed with the proper beam-setting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment manufacture's instructions.

NOTE: If there are any regulations pertinent to the aiming of head lamps in the area where the vehicle is to be used, adjust so as to meet those requirements.

Alternately turn the adjusting bolts to adjust the headlamp aiming.
If beam-setting equipment is not available, proceed as follows:
1. Inflate the tires to the specified pressure and remove the load from the vehicle except a driver, spare tire, tool.
2. The vehicle should be placed on the flat floor.
3. Draw vertical lines (Vertical lines passing through respective headlamp centers) and a horizontal line (Horizontal line passing through center of headlamps) on the screen.




4. With the headlamp and battery normal condition, aim the headlamps.
Make the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the lower beam to the standard values by using the adjusting knobs.

Head Lamp ( Low Beam ):




Head lamp (Low beam)

The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If the deviation of the light beam axis exceeds the standard value check to be sure that the mounting location of some other point is not defective.

CAUTION: Be sure to adjust the aiming adjustment screw in the tightening direction.

NOTE: The reflectors for low beam and high beam have been combined into a single part, so if the low beam adjustment is made, high beam adjustment is not necessary.
