Checking and adjusting the headlights

Check and adjust the headlights on an equipped car (with full fuel tank, tool kit and spare wheel).

You will need a Phillips screwdriver.

1. Pre-check and, if necessary, bring the air pressure in the tires to normal.



2. Install the car perpendicular to a smooth wall (e.g. in the garage) at a distance of 3 m. Place an additional weight of 75 kg on the driver's seat. Mark the screen on the wall as shown in fig. 4.6. The longitudinal plane of symmetry of the car must pass along line 0 on the screen. Rock the car from the side so that the suspension springs self-adjust.

3. Measure the height of the headlight centers from the floor on your vehicle. This will be the distance h on the screen.

4. Set the headlight electrocorrector control on the instrument panel to the position corresponding to the load of the car with one driver.

5. Turn on low beam.

6. Cover the right headlight with an opaque material.



7. Open the hood and, turning the adjusting screws of the left headlight, adjust the position on the screen of the light spot horizontally..




8.... and verticals, if the location of the light spots does not match the picture.

9. Adjust the right headlight in the same way.

Note. This is how the headlight adjustment screws are located.

10. The headlights are considered adjusted when the upper borders of the left parts of the light spots coincide with line 4, and vertical lines 1 and 2 pass through the points E1 and E2 intersections of horizontal and inclined sections of light spots.

If fog lamps are installed on the vehicle, then the direction of their beam of light must be adjusted only in height. By turning the adjusting screw, achieve that the upper borders of the light spots are on line 4 or slightly below it.
