13.1.13. Adjustment of headlights

GENERAL INFORMATION

Prevention

It is necessary to check adjustment of headlights each 12 months, at replacement of a headlight or after repair of a forward part of a body. It should be noted that described procedure allows to adjust approximately only headlights, exact adjustment is carried out in car-care center.


PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. On the headlight case with not folding optical element 2 screws for headlight adjustment in the vertical and horizontal planes (are specified by shooters) are provided. On a part of cars for access to screws it is required to remove a forward lattice.
2. The simplest way of adjustment consists in bunch installation on a marking on the screen at distance of 7,5 m from the car.
3. Designate a tape vertical axes of a bunch of symmetrically axis of the car. For more exact marking approach on a wall on distance around 10-20 see.
4. Designate the bunch centers, having carried out a horizontal.
5. Establish the car in 7,5 m from the screen.
6. Adjustment is carried out at normal loading of the car and a thin tank. Forward wheels should be perpendicular to a wall, the car should be on a horizontal platform.
7. Include a passing beam of headlights. Spots from bunches should be lower than a horizontal on 5–6 cm and be on 5–6 cm on the left from verticals. If necessary adjust a headlight, rotating screws. Include a driving beam of headlights. Spots of bunches should be strictly on a vertical and directly under a horizontal.

Prevention

Precisely to expose bunches of a driving and passing beam in such a way it can appear impossible. In this case try to adjust more precisely a passing beam with which it is necessary to go more often and on which traffic safety more depends.


8. As soon as possible adjust headlights in car-care center.
