Features the headlamp automatic shutdown function
to avoid battery drain when the headlamps are left
on. The main features are as follows:

•

Extinguishes automatically in three minutes if the
ignition switch is turned off with the lighting switch
on.

•

Extinguishes in one second if the driver's door is
opened within that 3-minute period.

•

If the headlamps are turned on with the ignition
switch off, the headlamps and tail lamps will
extinguish in three minutes after the driver's door
is opened or closed.

The headlamps are controlled by the Smart Wiring
System (SWS). For troubleshooting, refer to
respective Groups below.

HEADLAMP AIMING

M1542000900572

PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlamp

assemblies.

2. These conditions must be corrected before a

satisfactory adjustment can be made.

3. Inspect tyre inflation, and adjust if it is necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in luggage

room of the vehicle to simulate weight of a full
tank (0.8 kg per litre).

5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other

than driver or substituted weight of approximately
75 kg placed in driver's position.

6. Thoroughly clean the headlamp lenses.

7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to

a flat screen 10 m away from the bulb
centre-marks on the headlamp lens.

8. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume

its normal position.

9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3)

oscillations by applying the body weight to hood
or bumper.

10.Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent

markings) are required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is

aligned with the vehicle centre line.

(2) Measure the distance from the centre-marks

on the headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or
mark on the screen is for reference of vertical
adjustment.

NOTE: Height from the floor to the centre of
the headlamps (Reference value): 840 mm
