BEFORE CARRYING OUT THE OPERATION FOR HEADLIGHTS AIMING, CHECK THAT THE
TYRES ARE INFLATED TO THE PRESSURES INDICATED IN THE SPECIFIC SECTION.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the vehicle in conditions of use, without
load, with the tyres inflated to the prescribed pres-
sure on flat grounds at 10 m from a white screen
placed in the shade. Make sure the vehicle axis is
perpendicular to the screen;
2. Draw two vertical lines «a-a» at a distance «1»
corresponding to the distance between headlight
