Maintenance and care 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 on a level surface, the slope will be included in the level indicator. Therefore, vertical headlamp adjustment should be performed only when beam direction appears to be incorrect. 244
