| FOG LAMP AIMING
| PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS Inspect for badly rusted or faulty fog lamp assemblies. These conditions must be corrected before a satisfactory adjustment can be made. Inspect tyre inflation, and adjust if necessary. If fuel tank is not full, place a weight in the trunk of the vehicle to simulate weight of a full tank (0.8 kg) per liter.] There should be no other load in the vehicle other than driver or substituted weight of approximately 75 kg placed in driver's position. Thoroughly clean the fog lamp lenses. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to a flat screen 3 m away from the bulb centre-marks on the fog lamp lens. Rock the vehicle sideways to allow the vehicle to assume its normal position. Bounce the front suspension through three (3) oscillations by applying the body weight to the hood or bumper.
| Measure the centre of the fog lamps as shown in the illustration.
| Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent markings) are required on screen or wall: Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is aligned with the vehicle centre line. Measure the distance from the centre of the fog lamp lens to the floor. Transfer the measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or mark on the screen is for reference of vertical adjustment. Measure the distance from the centre line of the vehicle to the centre of each fog lamp. Transfer the measurement to the screen. Vertical tape or mark on the screen is for reference to the centre line of each fog lamp.
| FOG LAMP ADJUSTMENT
| Check if the beam shining onto the screen is at the standard value. Standard value: Fog lamp cut off line (Vertical direction): Within 45 mm (0.86°) to 75 mm (1.44°) below the vertical centre line ahead of fog lamp.
| If it is not within the standard value range, adjust by turning the adjusting screw. NOTE: The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If deviation of the lamp beam axis exceeds the standard value, check that the mounting location or some other points are not faulty.
