^ A width of 3.66 m (12 ft) (3)
^ A matte white surface
^ Shaded from ambient light
^ Properly adjusted to the floor that the vehicle rests on.

2. Ensure that the screen is equipped with the following items:
^ A vertical centerline (5)
^ Two laterally adjustable vertical pieces of tape (2)

^ A surface finished with a washable, no-gloss white paint
4. After setting up and locating the aiming screen, paint or tape a reference line on the floor.
The reference line should be 7.62 m (25 ft) from the screen.
5. Park the vehicle with the front of the headlamps directly over the reference line.
