5. Turn

on

the

low beam

headlamps.

Notice

that both

the

driver's side

lamp

and the

passenger's

side

lamp create

similar

light patterns

on

the

wall

(see

Fig.

1).

If the

left

side

of the

cutĆoff

line

of either

lamp

is above

or

below the

reference

line

on

the

wall,

the

vertical aim of that

lamp

requires

adjusting.

6. On the

lamp

requiring

adjustment,

turn

the

adjusting

screw marked

with

V1 in

the

desired direction

(up

or

down).

The

vertical

aim is correct when

the

horizontal

cutĆoff line

on

the

left side

of the

lamp's light pattern

is vertically

lined

up

with

the

horizontal

reference

line

on

the

screen as shown

in

Fig.

1.

7. Turn

the

adjusting

screw V2 in

the

same

direction

and

by

the

same

number

of revolutions

as

V1.

Note:

The

adjusting

screws

V1 and

V2

may

be

turned

at

the

same

time

or

V1 before

V2.

Never

turn

V2

before

V1.

Doing

so will

cause

misĆaimed

headlamps.

8. Repeat

steps 6 and

7 above

on

the

other

headlamp

if

required.
