16.24. Adjustment of a beam of head headlights
|
Head headlights should be correctly adjusted. Incorrectly adjusted headlights can blind the driver of the meeting half-way car and to serve as the reason of serious failure, or considerably to reduce your ability to see the road. It is necessary to check correctness of adjustment of head headlights each 12 months and each time at replacement of headlights or repair of a forward part of a body. It is necessary to emphasize that below-mentioned procedure is only the intermediate step providing temporary adjustment of headlights those that moment when they can be adjusted in specially equipped workshop. |
Head headlights have on two adjusting screws, one of them operates vertical adjustment, and one - horizontal adjustment. Front grille removal can be necessary for receiving access to these screws (see. Head Body).
There are some methods of adjustment of head headlights. Simplest of them needs an empty wall (or a garage door) in ten meters in front of the car and an equal floor.
|
- Attach a sticky tape vertically on a wall on the line respective to the average line of the car, and being average for both headlights.
|
Probably, it will need to be made if at first to establish the car in several centimeters from a wall, and then, after drawing of all labels to put it back on the necessary distance. |
- Attach other sticky tape horizontally on a wall on the line respective to the average line of all headlights.
- Put the car in 10 meters from the marked wall (the first line of the car should be parallel to a wall). Adjustment should be made at nominally loaded car, the fuel tank should be half filled.
- Begin adjustment with a beam of a passing beam. Place a zone of the greatest intensity so that it on five centimeters was lower than the horizontal line and on five centimeters to the right from the vertical line. Adjustment is made by rotation of the top adjusting screw clockwise for a raising of a beam and counter-clockwise - for its lowering. The lateral adjusting screw for beam moving to the left or to the right is in the same way used.
- Having included a beam of a driving beam, place a zone of the greatest intensity precisely to the vertical line and is slightly lower than the horizontal.
|
Sometimes happens it is impossible to adjust precisely both beams, near and far light. If the compromise is necessary, remember that the passing beam is used much more often and it is much more important for safety of the driver. |
- At the first possibility adjust head headlights in dealer office or at service station.
