Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
ACHTUNG
When checking the aiming of the headlights, do not set the vehicle to the "Adjust Headlights" mode through the touchscreen. The "Adjust Headlights" mode creates a non-standard headlight beam pattern that should not be used for checking the aiming of the headlights.
  1. Park the vehicle on a flat and level surface.
  2. Make sure that the tire pressures are set to specification.
  3. Open the hood.
  4. Power on the headlight tester.
  5. Position the headlight aimer perpendicular to the vehicle.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Anmerkung
    Use the visor/laser to line up the tester perpendicular to the axis between the hood struts. If the headlight aimer can move between the LH and RH headlights while maintaining the same laser angle projected onto the hood struts, it is set correctly (perpendicular) to the vehicle.
  6. Latch the LH front door.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
