4. Bounce front suspension through three oscillations by applying body weight to hood or bumper.
5. Check the tire inflation pressure. Adjust as necessary.
6. Rock the vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume its normal position.
7. If fuel tank is not full, place a weight in trunk of vehicle to simulate weight of a full tank [3 kg (6.5 lbs.) par gallon].
8. There should be no other load in the vehicle other than driver or substituted weight of approximately 70 kg (150 lbs.) placed in driver's position.
9. Thoroughly clean fog light lenses.

11. Measure the center of the fog lights as shown in the illustration.
12. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the fog lights as shown in the illustration.

Standard value:
Vertical direction
100 mm (4 in.) below horizontal (H)
Horizontal direction
Parallel to direction of vehicle travel
NOTE: The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If the deviation of the light beam axis exceeds the standard value, check for improper/defective mounting location.
