HEADLAMP BEAM ALIGNMENT
Service repair no - 86.40.17
Check
Check main beam alignment using beam setting
equipment. Should this not be available the beam can
be temporarily checked and adjusted as follows:-
1. Position vehicle, unladen, on level ground with
tyres correctly inflated, approximately 4 meters
from a wall or screen, marked as illustrated
below.
2. The beam centres ’A’ are measured horizontally
on the vehicle and dimension ’B’ vertically from
the ground.
3. Switch on main beam and adjust setting, as
necessary, with trimmer screws.
On vehicles fitted with headlamp levelling units, check
and adjust headlamp beam alignment as previously
described, with fascia mounted levelling switch at
position ’0’. The headlamps can then be adjusted,
according to load conditions, as follows:-
Position ’0’ - Driver only, or driver and all front seats
occupied (loadspace empty).
Position ’1’ - All seats occupied (loadspace empty).
Position ’2’ - All seats occupied by adults and
loadspace loaded to maximum rear axle weight.
Position ’3’ - Driver only with loadspace loaded to
maximum rear axle weight.
