(3) Measure the distance from the centre line of

the vehicle to the centre of each headlamp.
Transfer the measurement to the screen.
Vertical tape or mark on the screen with
reference to the centre line of each headlamp
bulb.

HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION

•

Do not cover a headlamp for more than three
minutes to prevent the plastic headlamp lens
deformation.

•

When adjusting one headlamp beam, make
sure that another headlamp is off by
disconnecting the connector from it. When
reconnecting the connector, make sure that
the headlamp beam is not disturbed
accidentally.

1. The low-beam headlamp should project on the

screen upper edge of the beam (cut-off).

2. If not the case, turn the adjusting screws to

achieve the specified low-beam cut-off location on
the aiming screen.

LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENT

M1542001000505

1. Set the headlamps to high-beam
2. Using a photometer, and following its

manufacturer's instruction manual, measure the
headlamp centre intensity and check to be sure
that the limit value is satisfied.

Limit: 30,000 cd or more {When a screen is
set 25m ahead of the vehicle}

NOTE: When measuring the intensity, maintain an
engine speed of 2,000 r/min., with the battery fully
charged.
There may be special local regulations pertaining to
headlamp intensity. Be sure to make any
adjustments necessary to satisfy such regulations.
If an illuminometer is used to make the
measurements, convert its values to photometer
values by using the following formula.

I =E x r

2

:

•

I = intensity (cd)

•

E = illumination (lux)

•

r = distance (m) from headlamps to illuminometer
