Headlight adjustment diagram
1. Line from the floor to the center of the headlights; 2. Light spot area; 3. The line at a distance from the axis of symmetry of the car to the center of the headlights; 4. Distance 7.5 m; 5. Front plane of the headlight; 6. Axis of symmetry of the car
1. The headlight housing has 2 screws for adjustment in vertical and horizontal planes (see Fig. Headlight adjustment screws).
2. Place the car 7.5 m from the wall.
3. Mark the crosshairs with tape symmetrically to the vehicle's axis (see fig. Headlight adjustment diagram). For more precise marking, move towards the wall at a distance of about 20 cm.
4. The adjustment is performed with the vehicle normally loaded and the tank half empty.
5. Set the low beam headlights so that the light spot is located 5 cm below the horizontal and 5 cm to the right of the vertical. To raise the beam, turn the screw clockwise and vice versa. The same applies to left-right adjustment.
6. Turn on the high beam headlights and adjust the beam so that the spot is strictly on the vertical line, directly below the horizontal.
Attention! It may be impossible to precisely adjust the high and low beams in this way. In this case, try to more accurately adjust the low beam, which you have to drive with more often and on which traffic safety depends to a greater extent.
7. Have your headlights adjusted at a car service center as soon as possible.
