Headlight aiming adjustment procedure

1. Install the screen.

Note:

• Stop the car at a right angle to the wall.
• Place the screen perpendicular to the road.

2. Stop the car at a right angle to the screen so that the distance between the centers of the additional headlights and the screen is 10 m.

3. Start the engine and turn the headlight switch to the "2ND" and "H1" positions. And press the additional headlight button.

Note: Block the light from the additional headlight that is not adjusted with a thick cloth, etc. so that it does not fall on the wall screen.

Caution: Do not cover the surface of the diffuser with tape, as it is made of plastic.

4. Adjust the headlight beam direction using the adjusting screws so that the center point of the intense light area on the screen is within the adjustment area.
