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
and a level surface can be verified.
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.
