  1. Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft.) away from front of headlamp lens.
  2. If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62 meters (25 ft.) away from and parallel to the wall. See Fig 1.
  3. From the floor up 65.8 Centimeters (26 in.), tape a vertical line on the wall at the center line of the vehicle. Sight along the center line of the vehicle (from rear of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of the line placement.
  4. Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow suspension to stabilize.
  5. Jounce front suspension three times by pushing downward on front bumper and releasing.
  6. A small dot is molded into each headlamp lens signifying the center of the low-beam headlamp. Measure the distance from the center of the headlamp to the floor. Transfer measurement to the alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/down adjustment reference.
