Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following:

Adjust the tire pressure to the specification.

Fill vehicle with fuel, engine coolant, and engine oil.
Remove cargo and/or luggage to maintain an unloaded vehicle condition.
Confirm the spare tire, jack, and tools are present and properly stowed.
Carefully wipe off any dirt from the headlamp lens.
CAUTION: Do not use organic solvent (thinner, gasoline etc.)
Place a driver or equivalent weight of 68.5 kg (150 lb) on the driver seat.
By hand, bounce the front and rear of the vehicle to settle the suspension and eliminate any static load.
Place the front tires in the straight ahead position.
