Check and adjust the headlights on an equipped car (with full fuel tank, tool kit and spare wheel).
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 a weight of 75 kg on the driver's seat. Mark the screen on the wall as shown in fig. 10.6. The longitudinal plane of symmetry of the car must pass along line 0 on the screen. Vertical lines 1 and 2 are located at an equal distance from line 0. The distance a between lines 1 and 2 must be equal to the distance between the centers of the dipped-beam lamps. Rock the car from the side so that the suspension springs self-adjust.
3. Measure the height of the headlight centers on your vehicle from the ground. 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. It is recommended to adjust the direction of the light spot for each headlight individually. Cover the second headlight with an opaque material during adjustment.
7. Open the hood and, by turning the adjusting screws, adjust the position on the screen of the light spot for each headlight horizontally...
8.... and verticals, if the location of the light spots does not match the picture.
9. The headlights are considered adjusted when the upper borders of the left parts of the light spots coincide with line 4, and the vertical lines 1 and 2 pass through the points E1 and E2 of the intersection of the horizontal and inclined sections of the light spots.
The direction of the fog light beam can only be adjusted in height. Turn the adjusting screw so that the upper borders of the light spots are on line C (pic. 10.7) or just below it.
