Maintenance and care 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 position (up/down). A non-zero bubble reading does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim 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. You will need one E8 Torx socket to make the adjustments. If the vehicle has been in an accident, the vehicle's front structure should be properly aligned before aiming the headlamps. Horizontal aim adjustment 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface 2. With the hood open, locate the horizontal indicator and the adjusting screw on the inner top of the headlamp. 3. The "I" and "O" on the yellow ring refer to the directional change (inboard or outboard of vehicle) of the horizontal aim. I O • For the left-hand (driver's side) headlamp, turning the adjusting screw clockwise will change the aim outboard (left), and turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise will change the aim inboard (right). • For the right-hand (passenger side) headlamp, turning the adjusting screw clockwise will change the aim outboard (right), and turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise will change the aim inboard (left). 246
