ADJUSTMENT
1. HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT
 
  • Turn off the light before adjusting the headlight beam level. If it is necessary to inspect the beam level, do not keep the light on for two minutes or more.

  • When blocking the light emitted from the headlight, use a light shield or equivalent.

    Do not apply the tape on the lens or place the cloth over it. It may raise the temperature in the light and cause deformation/bubble formations of the plastic lens.

  • If any of the following conditions is met, the headlight beam may deviate. If the headlight beam deviates, perform fuse resetting. LIGHTING SYSTEM>Auto Headlight Beam Leveler System>PROCEDURE > FUSE RESET

    • Difference has occurred to the angle of road surface between when the ignition switch is turned to OFF and when the ignition switch is turned to ON.

    • Difference has occurred to the angle of road surface between when the ignition switch is turned to OFF and when the vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 MPH).

1.

Before checking the headlight beam level, be sure of the following:

  • Check the area around the headlight for any scratches, damage or other type of deformation.

  • The vehicle is parked on a level surface.

  • The inflation pressure of tires is correct.

  • The vehicle does not have load.

  • Vehicle’s fuel tank is fully filled.

2.

Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension.
