Headlight Adjustment

  1. The low beam headlight should project on the screen upper edge of the beam (cut-off).
  2. If not the case, turn the adjusting screws to achieve the specified low-beam cut-off location on the aiming screen.
    1. Standard value: Vertical direction: 0.57° below horizontal (H) Horizontal direction: Position at which the stat up point of 15° is crossed with vertical line (V) 
    2. Limit: Vertical direction: The headlamp beam should tilt downwards by 0.17° or more. 
    NOTE: There is no horizontal aim adjustment. Horizontal aim is preset and does not require adjustment.
  3. When adjusting one headlight, disconnect the other headlight harness.
    CAUTION: Do not cover a headlight for more than three minutes to prevent the plastic headlight lens deformation.
  4. High-beam pattern should be correct when the low-beams are adjusted properly.
