Headlamp adjusting the rotation of the adjustment screws, which turn the optical element in the vertical and horizontal planes. On HUNDRED made precise adjustment range using a special measuring device and only when absolutely necessary, you can manually make a rough adjustment. Coarse adjustment range performed as follows: - Put a fully fueled and loaded truck on level ground at 5 m from the smooth wall or any screen so that the axis is perpendicular to the car he was; - Make sure the tire pressure is correct; - Push the side of the car to install the spring suspension; - Measure the distance between the earth and the centers of the headlamps. Apply these points on the wall and draw a straight line through them; - Carried out on a second straight wall, below the first 5 cm; - Draw on the wall exactly in the center of the car vertical line; - Measure the distance between the centers of the middle of the car and headlights (left and right). Mark crosses on the wall is the distance from the delayed vertical line to the right and to the left, on the first line (top); - Just 5 cm beneath these crosses (bottom line) should be the point of the bend of the passing beam headlamp. (If so, the coarse adjustment is not necessary to conduct); - Ensure that the lights are in the home position (on the switch "0"); - Sequentially, first for right headlight (left closed with a cloth or dark matter), and then to the left (right closed), adjust the screws light beams of headlights; - Access to the adjustment screws can be enjoyed from the engine compartment; - Switch on the ignition and dipped beam; - Vertical adjustment screw (on the outside lights) to set the lower limit of the passing beam on the bottom horizontal line; - Adjusting screw horizontal scanning (on the inside lights) set a border bending beam to the respective cross; - With the proper adjustment of main beam is automatically achieved. Nevertheless, as soon as possible make an accurate adjusted on the SRT. Helpful advice Immediately after the fine adjustment range at the station (with the help of a special device), select them, drawing rays adjusted headlights on the door of his garage, just putting the car at a distance of five meters from the garage door so that the axle is perpendicular to it. The distance should be exactly extinct and not appreciated by eye. Turn on the main beam and mark crosses on the garage door centers both light beams of headlights. Now, during the rough adjustment of headlights can use the deposited notes. It put the car in the same position in front of the garage door and check whether the centers of the headlights with previous labels, and adjust them if necessary.
