Headlight adjustment

To adjust the headlights, a special optical device is used. The car during the test should not be loaded, the tire pressure should be normal. Rock the car several times before making adjustments. If the fuel tank is not completely filled with fuel, then put a load of about 30 kg in the trunk. The process of adjusting the beam of light begins at the position «0». Further adjustment of the headlights is carried out as follows:

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



Pic. 298. Scheme for adjusting the headlights: A - the distance between the centers of the headlights; B - cut-off line; C - center of the headlight, dipped beam; D - a sample of the picture of light, low beam; H is the height from the ground to the center of the headlight; X=12cm (for all models)

- shown in Fig. 298 the adjustment scheme is applied to the wall or door of the garage, while taking the appropriate dimensions from the headlight, namely: center point, headlight height, etc.;

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

- turn on the dipped beam and close the cover on the left headlight;




Pic. 299. The position of the two headlight adjustment bolts: 1 - height adjustment bolt; 2 — a bolt of adjustment on width

- adjust the lateral position of the right headlight until the point of intersection of the horizontal and inclined line of the sample «WITH» does not coincide with the vertical line of the adjustment plane (the adjusting bolt 2 is located in the one shown in fig. 299 place);

- adjust the beams in height so that the cut-off line on the sample «IN» aligned with dashed line (adjusting bolt 1 is on the opposite side);

- similarly adjust the other headlight.
