Headlight adjustment (Mondeo 2)

A special optical device is used to adjust the headlights. The car should not be loaded during the check, the tire pressure should be normal. Before adjusting, rock the car several times. If the fuel tank is not full, then put a load weighing about 30 kg in the trunk. The process of adjusting the beam of light begins at the "0" position. Further adjustment of the headlights is carried out as follows:

- Place the car approximately 10 m from the garage door or a wall that can be used as a screen;

- the adjustment diagram shown in Fig. 298 is applied to the wall or door of the garage, while the corresponding dimensions are taken from the headlight, namely: the central point, the height of the headlight, etc;

- swing the suspension of the front and rear wheels several times;

- turn on the low beam and close the left headlight with the cover;

- adjust the lateral position of the right headlight until the intersection point of the horizontal and inclined lines of sample "C" coincides with the vertical line of the adjustment plane (adjusting bolt 2 is in the place shown in Fig. 299);

- adjust the beams in height so that the light and shadow boundary on sample "B" coincides with the dashed line (adjusting bolt 1 is on the opposite side);

- adjust the other headlight in the same way.
