Headlamp Aiming
The headlamp aiming system has
been preset at the factory.
If the vehicle is damaged in an
accident, the aim of the headlamps
may be affected and adjustment
may be necessary.
It is recommended that a
dealer/retailer adjust the headlamps.
To re-aim the headlamps yourself,
use the following procedure.
The vehicle should be properly
prepared as follows:
• The vehicle should be placed so
the headlamps are 25 ft. (7.6 m)
from a light colored wall.
• The vehicle must have all four
tires on a level surface which
is level all the way to the wall.
• The vehicle should be placed so
it is perpendicular to the wall or
other flat surface.
• The vehicle should not have any
snow, ice, or mud on it.
• The vehicle should be fully
assembled and all other
work stopped while headlamp
aiming is being performed.
• The vehicle should be
normally loaded with a full
tank of fuel and one person or
160 lbs (75 kg) sitting on the
driver’s seat.
• Tires should be properly inflated.
Headlamp aiming is done with
the vehicle’s low-beam headlamps.
The high-beam headlamps will
be correctly aimed if the low-beam
headlamps are aimed properly.
To adjust the vertical aim, do the
following:
1. Open the hood. See Hood
Release on page 5-9 for
more information.
2. Locate the aim dot on the lens of
the low-beam headlamp.
3. Measure the distance from the
ground to the aim dot on the
low-beam headlamp. Record the
distance.
