Headlamp Alignment
NOTE:
Due to the linear nature of the headlamp cutoff, a properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the top edge of the high intensity pattern on the alignment screen from the horizontal line to 50 millimeters (2 inches) below the horizontal line for domestic market vehicles, or to 104 millimeters (4.125 inches) below the horizontal line for export market vehicles. No horizontal (right/left) adjustment is required for this headlamp beam pattern in domestic market vehicles. Export market vehicles have a second horizontal (right/left) adjustment screw (2) provided. The high beam pattern will be correct when the low beams are properly aimed.
- Turn the headlamps ON and select the LOW beams for vehicles in all markets except Japan. Vehicles for the Japanese market should have the headlamp HIGH beams selected.
- Use a screwdriver to adjust the vertical adjustment screw (1) on the back of each front lamp unit housing. The adjustment screw is accessed through an oblong clearance hole provided in the right or left fender close out panel. Rotate the headlamp vertical adjustment screw to adjust the beam height as required.
