Aiming the headlamps

Your vehicle is equipped with a
variable headlamp aiming device
(VHAD) on each headlamp
reflector extension and headlamp
housing. Each headlamp may be
properly aimed in the horizontal
direction and the vertical direction
by performing the following steps.
The horizontal aim must be
adjusted first. This procedure
requires the use of a 4 mm box
wrench or open end wrench.
Position the vehicle on a surface
that is level in the front-to-rear
direction.
If the vehicle cannot be placed on
a true level surface, the headlamps
still can be adjusted using the
VHAD if the slope of the surface is
accurately known and does not
differ by more than 30.5 mm (1.2
in) from true level.
