Adjustment
-
Apply tape to a wall at 81 cm (31.8
in) from the floor.
-
Apply tape to the floor at ~ 7.6 m (25
ft) from the wall.
-
Park the vehicle on a flat level
surface perpendicular to the wall and align the front fascia with the tape on the
floor.
NoteChoose a dark work area with low ambient lighting for best results. Make sure that tire pressure is set to specification.
-
Measure the distance from both front wheels to the wall.
NoteIf equal, this ensures vehicle is perpendicular to wall. If not equal, re-position the vehicle accordingly. Maximum difference between left and right is 3 mm.
- Find the target's center line by projecting a laser perpendicular to the wall onto the center point of the vehicle. Mark the center position with a piece of tape, vertically on the wall.
- Mark the vertical reference points: measure 79.5 cm (31.2 in) left and right from the center line and apply tape on each side, vertically to the wall.

- Remove the cover from the RH headlight, and then completely cover the LH headlight.
- On the vehicle touchscreen, touch Right.
-
On the steering wheel, use the left scroll wheel to adjust the beam.
NoteAdjust the RH headlight so that the LH part of the beam is below the horizontal marking and the RH part of the beam is on the RH side of the RH vertical mark.
- Exit the headlight adjustment mode through the touchscreen.
- Deactivate Jack Mode.
