Settings and Adjustments

HEADLIGHT AIMING

(1) = Distance between the centres of the head-
lights
(2) = (3) x 0.9
(3) = Height from the ground of the centre of the
headlights
(2) = (3) x 0.95 if the aiming of the headlights is
carried out with the vehicle at a distance of 5 me-
tres from the screen.

HEADLIGHTS AIMING INSPECTION

Position the unloaded vehicle on a flat surface and at 10 m (4) away from a white screen located in the
dark (see the figure) and make sure that the vehicle axis is perpendicular to the screen. Draw two vertical
lines "↓-↓", on the screen, at a distance "(1)" corresponding to the distance between headlight axes.
Draw a horizontal line "→ - ←" whose height "(2)" from the ground corresponds to 0.9 x (3); with the
low-beam headlight on, the horizontal borderline between the dark and the light zones should not be
above the horizontal line "→-←". Now switch on the high-beam lights and check that the centre of the
depth light beam for each headlight is on the corresponding vertical line "↓-↓", or slightly outside that
line.
N.B.
THE TWO HEADLIGHTS ARE FITTED WITH TWO ADJUSTMENT SCREWS THAT ALLOW TO
CORRECT ANY CHANGES IN INCLINATION (SCREW LOCATED ON THE UPPER PART) OF THE
LIGHT BEAMS. TO ACCESS THESE SCREWS, REMOVE THE EXTERNAL FINISH FRAME OF THE
HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. BEFORE CARRYING OUT THIS CONTROL, MAKE SURE THAT THE
FRONT AND REAR TYRES ARE INFLATED TO THE PRESSURES SPECIFIED IN THE CHARAC-
TERISTICS.
