Alignment Screen Preparation
- Position the vehicle on a level surface 10 meters in front of a flat wall or aiming board.
- Tape a vertical line on the wall extending 1 meter up from the floor, making sure this line is even with the centerline of the vehicle (Fig 1).

- Measure the cross-car distance between the two headlamp focal point circles (1174 mm). Transfer half of this distance (587 mm to the left of the vehicle centerline and tape another vertical line up from the floor 1 meter (Fig 1). Repeat for the right side of the centerline also.
- Measure the distance from the floor to the focal point circle on the headlamp lens (635 mm, but may vary due to variations in tire size and vehicle suspension height). Transfer this measurement to the wall and tape a horizontal line extending approximately 1 meter beyond each vertical focal point line (Fig 1).
