ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE
1. PREPARE VEHICLE FOR FOG LIGHT AIM ADJUSTMENT
(a) Prepare the vehicle:
2. PREPARE FOR FOG LIGHT AIMING
(a) Prepare the vehicle:
NOTICE: A distance of 25 m (82 ft.) between the vehicle (fog light center mark) and the wall is necessary for proper aim adjustment. If sufficient space is not available, secure a distance of exactly 3 m (9.84 ft.) to allow for checking and adjustment of fog light aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.) |
|
(b) Prepare a piece of thick white paper (approximately 2 m (6.56 ft.) (height) x 4 m (13.1 ft.) (width)) to use as a screen.
(c) Draw a vertical line down the center of the screen (V line).
(d) Set the screen as shown in the illustration:
HINT:
(e) Draw base lines (H, V LH, and V RH lines) on the screen as shown in the illustration. HINT: Mark the fog light center marks on the screen. (1) 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 fog light center marks. (2) V LH Line, V RH Line (Center mark position of left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) fog lights): Draw 2 vertical lines so that they intersect the H line at each center mark (aligned with the center mark of the fog lights). |

3. INSPECT FOG LIGHT AIMING
(a) Cover the fog light or disconnect the connector of the fog light on the opposite side to prevent light from the fog light that is not being inspected from affecting the fog light aiming inspection.
(b) Start the engine.
(c) Turn on the fog lights and check if the upper edge of the hot zone for each fog light matches the upper edge as shown in the illustration:
HINT:
The upper edge of the hot zone for the fog light should be 25 mm (0.984 in.) below the H line.
The upper edge of the hot zone for the fog light should be 3 mm (0.118 in.) below the H line.
4. ADJUST FOG LIGHT AIMING
(a) Adjust the aim vertically:
(1) Adjust the aim of each fog light to the specified range by turning each aiming screw with a screwdriver. NOTICE: The final turn of the aiming screw should be made in the clockwise direction. If the screw is tightened excessively, loosen it and then retighten it, so that the final turn of the screw is in the clockwise direction. HINT: If it is not possible to correctly adjust the fog light aim, check the fog light assembly. |
