AIMING
THE HEADLAMPS
The alignment of your headlamps
should be checked if:
Oncoming motorists frequently
signal you to deactivate your high
beams, and your high beams are
not activated.
The headlamps do not seem to
provide enough light for clear night
vision.
The headlamp beams are pointed
substantially away from a slightly
down and to the right position.
Aiming the headlamps
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device
(VHAD) on each headlamp body.
Each headlamp may be properly
aimed in the horizontal direction
(left/right) and the vertical
direction (up/down). Turning the
headlamp adjusting screws in the
direction shown by the embossed
arrow markings on each headlamp
body represents a change in aim
direction either in the left/right or
up/down directions, depending on
whether you are adjusting the
horizontal or the vertical screw,
respectively.
A nonĆzero bubble reading does not
necessarily indicate outĆofĆaim
headlamps. If your vehicle is not
positioned   , the
slope will be included in the level
indicator. Therefore, vertical
headlamp adjustment should be
performed only when beam
direction appears to be incorrect.
