Headlamp Aiming

The vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aiming

system. The aim has been preset at the factory and

should need no further adjustment

However, if the vehicle is damaged in an accident, the

headlamp aim may be affected and adjustment may

be necessary.

If oncoming vehicles ﬂash their high beams at you, this

may also mean the vertical aim needs to be adjusted.

It is recommended that the vehicle is taken to your

dealer for service if the headlamps need to be re-aimed.

It is possible however, to re-aim the headlamps as

described in the following procedure.

The vehicle should be properly prepared as follows:

• The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps

are 15 ft. (4.6 m) from a light colored wall or

other ﬂat surface.

• The vehicle must have all four tires on a perfectly

level surface which is level all the way to the wall

or other ﬂat surface.

• The vehicle should be placed so it is perpendicular

to the wall or other ﬂat surface.

• The vehicle should not have any snow, ice, or mud

on it.

• The vehicle should be fully assembled and all other

work stopped while headlamp aiming is being

performed.

• The vehicle should be normally loaded with a full

tank of fuel and one person or 160 lbs (75 kg)

sitting on the driver’s seat.

• Tires should be properly inﬂated.

• The spare tire is in its original location in

the vehicle.

Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle’s low-beam

headlamps. The high-beam headlamps will be correctly

aimed if the low-beam headlamps are aimed properly.
