  1. Connect the negative battery cable terminal to the remote battery post. Tighten the nut to 28 N·m (18 ft. lbs.) (Figure 1).

 

  1. Proceed to Section B Headlamp Alignment.

 

B.  Headlamp Alignment

  1. If the vehicle is equipped with headlamp leveling, be certain that the headlamp leveling switch is in the 0 (zero) position.

 

  1. Verify proper tire inflation pressures.

 

  1. Verify that there is no load in the vehicle (cargo or passengers), except for the driver.

 

  1. The fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kilograms (6.5 pounds) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated gallon of missing fuel.

 

Steps 5 – 12 will prepare a suitable headlamp alignment screen (Figure 9).

  1. Tape a line on a level floor 7.62 meters (25 feet) away (1) from and parallel to the flat wall that will be used as the lamp alignment screen. The level floor will be used as the horizontal zero reference (Figure 9).

 

  1. An adjacent wall or floor member that is perpendicular (2) to the alignment screen can be used as the vertical zero reference. If there is no adjacent wall or floor member that is perpendicular to the screen, tape a second line on the floor perpendicular to both the alignment screen and the first line, and outboard of either side of where the vehicle will be positioned. This will be used as the vertical zero reference (Figure 9).

 

  1. Position the vehicle so that the side of the vehicle is parallel to the vertical zero reference, and so that the front of the lamp lenses are in the vertical plane of the parallel line taped on the floor 7.62 meters (25 feet) away (1) from the screen (Figure 9).

 

  1. Rock the vehicle side-to-side three times to allow the suspension to stabilize.

 

  1. Jounce the front suspension three times by pushing downward on the front bumper and releasing.

 

  1. Measure the distance between the optical center of one of the headlamps and the floor (6) (horizontal zero reference). Transfer this measurement to the alignment screen with a piece of tape placed horizontally to the floor. This line will be used as the lamp horizontal reference (Figure 9).

 

  1. Measure the distance between the vertical zero reference and the optical center of the first headlamp being aimed. Transfer this measurement (7) to the alignment screen with a piece of tape placed vertically across the appropriate headlamp horizontal reference. This is the centerline reference for the first lamp (Figure 9).

 

  1. Measure the distance on center between the first and the second headlamp (8) being aimed. Transfer this measurement to the alignment screen with a second piece of tape placed vertically across the appropriate headlamp horizontal reference. This is the centerline reference for the second lamp (Figure 9).

 

NOTE: Due to the linear nature of the headlamp cutoff, a properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the top edge of the high intensity pattern on the alignment screen just below the horizontal line to 50 millimeters (2 inches) below the horizontal line for domestic market vehicles, or to 130 millimeters (5.12 inches) below the horizontal line for export market vehicles. No horizontal (right/left) adjustment is required for this headlamp beam pattern in domestic market vehicles. Export market vehicles have a second horizontal (right/left) adjustment screw provided on the outboard side of the headlamp unit rear housing. The high beam pattern will be correct when the low beams are properly aimed.

 

  1. Turn the headlamps ON and select the LOW beams.

 

  1. Rotate the vertical adjustment screw on each front lamp unit to adjust the beam height as required (Figure 10).

 

  1. Turn off the headlamps.

 

  1. Close the hood.
