Adjustment
- Vehicle preparation for fog light aim
adjustment
- Prepare the vehicle:
- Ensure that the vehicle has no damage or
deformation around the fog lights.
- Fill up the fuel tank.
- Make sure that all of the different types of oil in
the vehicle (engine oil, etc.) Are filled to the
specified levels.
- Make sure that the coolant is filled to the
specified level.
- Inflate the tires to the appropriate pressure.
- Place the spare tire, tools, and jack in their
original positions.
- Unload the vehicle.
- Have a person that weighs approximately 55 kg
(121 lb) sit in the driver seat.
- Preparation for fog light aiming (using screen)
- Prepare the vehicle according to the following conditions:
- Move the vehicle to a location that is sufficiently
dark so that the fog light cutoff line can be
visually checked. The cutoff line is an imaginary
plane below which fog light light is projected and
above which light is not projected.
- Move the vehicle to a level surface.
- Point the front of the vehicle at a wall. The wall
must be perpendicular to the surface that the
vehicle is on.
- Position the vehicle 10 m (32.8 Ft.) From the wall.
- Push down on the vehicle several times to settle
the suspension.
Hint:
A distance of 10 m (32.8 Ft.) Between the vehicle
and the wall is necessary for proper aim
adjustment. If unavailable, secure a distance of
exactly 3 m (9.8 Ft.). In the illustrations below,
view the part of the illustration applicable to the
distance from the vehicle to the wall.
Notice:
Be careful not to damage the suspension.
- Prepare a piece of thick white paper that is
approximately 2 m (6.6 Ft.) (Height) x 4 m (13.1 Ft.)
(Width) to use as a screen.
- Draw a vertical line down the center of the screen (v
line).
- Set the screen as shown in the illustration.
Hint:
- Stand the screen perpendicular to the ground.
- Align the v line on the screen with the center of
the vehicle.
- Draw base lines (h line, v lh and v rh lines) on
the screen as shown in the illustration.
H line (fog light height):
draw a horizontal line across the screen so that
it passes through the center marks. The h line
should be at the same height as the bulb center
marks of the fog lights.
V lh line, v rh line (center mark position of
lh and rh fog lights):
draw 2 vertical lines so that they intersect the h
line at each center mark.
- Inspect fog light aiming
- Choose a fog light to inspect first. Cover or
disconnect the connector of the other fog light to
prevent light from that fog light from affecting the fog
light aiming inspection.
- Start the engine.
Notice:
Engine rpm must be 1,500 or more.
- Turn on the fog lights and make sure that the cutoff
line is within the specified area shown in the
illustration.
- Adjust fog light aiming
- Adjust the fog light aim into the specified range by
turning the aiming screw with a screwdriver.
Notice:
If the screw is tightened too much, loosen it and
then retighten it so that the final turn of the
screw is in the clockwise direction.
