    Headlights become very hot during use; do not touch them or cover them with such items like fender covers immediately after they have been turned off.

    Before adjusting the headlights:

    • Park the vehicle on a level surface.
    • Make sure the tire pressures are correct.
    • The driver or someone who weighs the same should sit in the driver's seat (or use an equivalent weight).
    • Unload the vehicle.

    1. Clean the outer lens so that you can see the center (A) of the headlights.

    2. Park the vehicle so that the center mark of the headlight (A) is 7.5 m (24.6 ft) away from a wall or screen (B).

    3. Turn on the low beam headlights.

    4. Determine if the headlights are aimed properly.

    Vertical adjustment:

    Measure the height of the headlights (A). Adjust the cut line (B) to the light's height.

    NOTE:  To help determine if a headlight is out of adjustment, block one of the beams with a large piece of cardboard or equivalent, and observe the other beam on the wall or screen. Repeat this for the other headlight.

    NOTE:  The R and L adjusters are not applicable. The headlights can only be adjusted up and down.
