- Position the vehicle for adjusting the headlights. The vehicle should be:
- Located in a darker work area with low ambient lighting.
- Parked on a level surface.
- Perpendicular to a wall that has a matte surface. The wall must be at least 1.83 m (6 ft) high and 3.76 m (12 ft) wide.
- Make sure there are no low tire pressure alerts on the touchscreen. If present, adjust tire pressures to specification.
- Apply tape to the wall at 68 cm (26.8 in) from the floor.

- Park the vehicle perpendicular to the wall so that the front fascia is aligned with the tape that was put on the floor in the previous step.
- Confirm that the vehicle is positioned perpendicular to the wall by measuring the distance from the center of each front wheel to the wall. If necessary, reposition the vehicle until the distance between each front wheel to the wall is equal.
NOTE:
Maximum difference in distance between left and right is 3 mm (0.12 in).

Adjust the LH headlight so that the top of the horizontal beam aligns with the horizontal tape mark on the wall, and the left edge of the L-shaped beam aligns with the LH vertical reference tape mark.
NOTE:
Do not sit in the vehicle during headlight aiming since this will affect the height of the headlight beam.
