Headlight adjustment

Preparing for headlight adjustment

1. Check the headlight assemblies for faults, corrosion, and component defects. Eliminate faults before adjusting.

2. Adjust the tire pressure to the nominal value.

3. (If the headlight range control switch is installed) Set the headlight range control switch to the "0" position.

4. Let the engine run at 2000 rpm to fully charge the battery.

5. If the fuel tank is not full, place a load in the luggage compartment at a rate of 0.8 kg per liter of fuel.

6. Leave only one driver in the car, or place a load weighing 55 kg in his place.

7. Wipe the headlight lenses thoroughly.

8. Determine the center of the headlight for which adjustment will be made.

Models with single high and low beam lamps.

Models with separate high and low beam lamps.

9. The headlight beam should be adjusted using appropriate lighting devices in compliance with the instructions of the manufacturer of these devices.

Note: If your region has special requirements regarding vehicle lighting, adjust the headlights to meet these requirements.

10. Place the vehicle on a level horizontal surface so that the distance from the center of the headlight to the lighting device is 1 m, as shown in the figure.

11. General recommendations for adjustment.

Attention:

To avoid deformation of the plastic headlight lens, do not cover the headlight for more than three minutes.

When adjusting one headlight, make sure the other headlight is disconnected by disconnecting the connector.

When connecting the headlight connector after completing the adjustment, make sure that the headlight setting is not lost.

Note: If external lighting makes it difficult to determine the cut-off point of the headlight beam, use a curtain or additional screen to reduce the influence of external lighting.

Headlight adjustment (according to European standards)

1. Check that the headlight beam is positioned correctly on the screen.

a) Check for a clear light-shadow boundary and an asymmetrical beam image relative to the vertical line.

b) In the vertical direction, the beam of light from the headlights must be below the horizontal line "H" by the specified amount.

Nominal value - 7 mm

c) In the horizontal direction, the angle at which the inclined line of the headlight beam intersects the vertical line "V" must correspond to the nominal value.

Nominal value - 15°

2. To adjust the position of the headlight beam, rotate the corresponding adjusting screws one by one.

Models with single high and low beam lamps.

Models with separate high and low beam lamps.

Measuring headlight brightness

1. Place the vehicle on a level horizontal surface so that the distance from the center of the headlight to the lighting device is 1 m.

2. Turn on the low beam headlights and, following the instructions of the device manufacturer, measure the brightness of the headlights using a photometer and check that the measured value corresponds to the nominal value.

The maximum permissible value is not less than 6400 Candela

Note:

- When measuring the light brightness, keep the engine speed at least 2000 rpm to keep the battery in a charged state.

- If a luxmeter is used to measure the brightness of light, then it is necessary to convert its readings into photometer units of measurement using the following formula:

I= ER², Where

I - brightness of light, Candela (cd),

E - illumination, (lux),

R is the distance in meters from the headlight to the lux meter.

Adjusting the front fog lights

Preparing to adjust the front fog lights

1. Check the front fog lamp assemblies for faults, corrosion, and component defects. Eliminate faults before adjusting.

2. Adjust the tire pressure to the nominal value.

3. Let the engine run at 2000 rpm to fully charge the battery.

4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a load in the luggage compartment at a rate of 0.8 kg per liter of fuel.

5. Leave only one driver in the car, or place a load weighing 55 kg in his place.

6. Wipe the fog light lenses thoroughly.

7. Determine the center of the front fog light to be adjusted as shown in the figure.

8. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface so that the distance from the center of the front fog lamp to the screen is 3 m, as shown in the figure.

9. Rock the car horizontally (left-right) to achieve a stable position.

10. Rock the vehicle vertically three times, applying force to the hood or front bumper to stabilize the front suspension.

11. Draw four lines on the screen for adjustment.

a) Position the vertical line so that it coincides with the center line of the car (the longitudinal axis of the car).

b) Measure the distance (height) from the center of the front fog lamp to the pad and mark the value on the screen. This horizontal line will be used as a reference line for vertical adjustment.

Adjusting the front fog lights

1. Check that the position of the fog light beam on the screen is normal.

a) In the vertical direction, the beam of light from the headlights (cut-off line) must be located within the specified range below the horizontal line "H" by the specified amount.

Nominal value: 6 cm (1.15°)

b) In the horizontal direction, the beam of light from the headlights should be parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle.

Original version of the article on the website [mitsubishiman.ru]

Note: The fog lights cannot be adjusted horizontally. If the beam of light from the headlights deviates from the nominal position, check that the headlights are correctly mounted and that there are no defects in the mountings.

2. To adjust the position of the fog light beam in the vertical direction, rotate the adjusting screw.

Caution: When adjusting, be sure to cover other lamps (lighting devices) that are not being adjusted.
