FOG LIGHT AIMING

M1542001100472

PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty fog light assemblies.
2. These conditions must be corrected before a satisfactory

adjustment can be made.

3. Inspect tire inflation, and adjust if necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in the trunk of the

vehicle to simulate weight of a full tank [3 kg (6.5 pounds)
per gallon].

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

driver or substituted weight of approximately 70 kg (150
pounds) placed in driver's position.

6. Thoroughly clean the fog light lenses.
7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to a flat

screen 7.62 meters (25.0 feet) away from the bulb
center-marks on the foglight lens.

8. Rock the vehicle sideways to allow the vehicle to assume its

normal position.

9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3) oscillations

by applying the body weight to the hood or bumper.

10.Measure the center of the fog lights as shown in the

illustration.

11.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 center line.

(2) Measure the distance from the center of the fog light lens

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

(3) Measure the distance from the center line of the vehicle

to the center of each fog light. Transfer the measurement
to the screen. Vertical tape or mark on the screen is for
reference to the center line of each fog light.

FOG LIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. Check if the beam shining onto the screen is at the standard

value.

2. If it is not within the standard value range, adjust by turning

the adjusting screw.

Standard value:

(Vertical direction): Top of the hot zone should be

101 mm (4.0 inches) (0.76 degrees angle) down-
ward from the height of the fog light center.

Limit:

(Vertical direction): Top of the hot zone should be

152mm (6.0 inches) (1.14 degrees angle) in maxi-
mum downward from the height of the fog light
center.

NOTE: The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If deviation of
the light beam axis exceeds the standard value, check that the
mounting location or some other points are not faulty.
