6.5. Check the beam from the headlights against the masking tape on the wall.
NOTE
To check if a headlight is out of adjustment, block one headlight with a large piece of cardboard and observe
the beam shining on the wall. Then, move the cardboard to block the other beam, and check the second
headlight.
•

If the beam is at the same level as the masking tape, the headlights are properly aligned.

•

If the beam is higher or lower than the masking tape, adjust the headlight(s) by opening the hood and
turning the adjuster until the beam is level with the masking tape.
