Adjustment

  1. Apply tape to a wall at 81 cm (31.8 in) from the floor.
  2. Apply tape to the floor at ~ 7.6 m (25 ft) from the wall.
  3. Park the vehicle on a flat level surface perpendicular to the wall and align the front fascia with the tape on the floor.
    Note
    Choose a dark work area with low ambient lighting for best results. Make sure that tire pressure is set to specification.
  4. Measure the distance from both front wheels to the wall.
    Note
    If equal, this ensures vehicle is perpendicular to wall. If not equal, re-position the vehicle accordingly. Maximum difference between left and right is 3 mm.
  5. Find the target's center line by projecting a laser perpendicular to the wall onto the center point of the vehicle. Mark the center position with a piece of tape, vertically on the wall.
  6. Mark the vertical reference points: measure 79.5 cm (31.2 in) left and right from the center line and apply tape on each side, vertically to the wall.
  7. Set vehicle ride height to "Low" through the touchscreen.
    Note
    Touch Controls > Suspension > Low.
  8. Set air suspension into "Jack Mode" through the touchscreen.
    Note
    Touch Controls > Service > Jack Mode.
  9. Enter the headlight adjustment mode through the touchscreen.
    Note
    Touch Controls > Service > Headlights.
  10. Switch on the headlights.
  11. Completely cover the RH headlight with a fender cover or shop towel.
  12. On the vehicle touchscreen, touch Left.
  13. On the steering wheel, use the left scroll wheel to adjust the beam.
    Note
    Adjust LH headlight so that the RH part of the beam sits between the vertical reference marks and crosses the middle of the horizontal mark.
  14. Remove the cover from the RH headlight, and then completely cover the LH headlight.
  15. On the vehicle touchscreen, touch Right.
  16. On the steering wheel, use the left scroll wheel to adjust the beam.
    Note
    Adjust the RH headlight so that the LH part of the beam is below the horizontal marking and the RH part of the beam is on the RH side of the RH vertical mark.
  17. Exit the headlight adjustment mode through the touchscreen.
  18. Deactivate Jack Mode.
