HEADLAMP VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
Your vehicle is equipped with VOL (Visual Optical Left) headlamps.
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.
• (1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
• (2) VOL - subtract 2.1 inches
(50 mm) from the measurement
of the center of the low beam
lamp to the ground.
• (3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
• (4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the ground
and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) horizontal reference line on the vertical
wall or screen 2.1 inches (50 mm) below this height (a piece of masking
tape works well). The center of the lamp is marked by a 3.0 mm circle
on the headlamp lens (use the low beam center mark).
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with flat
edges at the top of the beam
pattern. If the flat edges are not at
the horizontal reference line, the
beam will need to be adjusted.
To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block
the light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.
5. Remove the sight shield, locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp, then use a 6 mm socket wrench or screwdriver to adjust the
headlamp up or down.
6. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NON-ADJUSTABLE.
7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
