5. PREPARE FOR FOG LIGHT AIMING


    E189712E02

  1. Prepare the vehicle (except Taiwan):

    1. Place the vehicle in a location that is dark enough to clearly observe the cutoff line. The cutoff line is a distinct line, below which light from the fog lights can be observed and above which it cannot.
    2. Place the vehicle at a 90° angle to the wall.
    3. Create a 25 m (82 ft.) distance between the vehicle (fog light bulb center) and the wall.
    4. Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface.
    5. Position the front wheels straight ahead.
    6. Bounce the vehicle up and down to settle the suspension.

      NOTICE:
      A distance of 25 m (82 ft.) between the vehicle (fog light bulb center) and the wall is necessary for proper aim adjustment. If sufficient space is not available, secure a distance of exactly 3 m (9.84 ft.) to allow for checking and adjustment of fog light aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)



    E189712E03

  1. Prepare the vehicle (for Taiwan):

    1. Place the vehicle in a location that is dark enough to clearly observe the cutoff line. The cutoff line is a distinct line, below which light from the fog lights can be observed and above which it cannot.
    2. Place the vehicle at a 90° angle to the wall.
    3. Create a 10 m (32.8 ft.) distance between the vehicle (fog light bulb center) and the wall.
    4. Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface.
    5. Position the front wheels straight ahead.
    6. Bounce the vehicle up and down to settle the suspension.

      NOTICE:
      A distance of 10 m (32.8 ft.) between the vehicle (fog light bulb center) and the wall is necessary for proper aim adjustment. If sufficient space is not available, secure a distance of exactly 3 m (9.84 ft.) to allow for checking and adjustment of fog light aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)

  1. Prepare a piece of thick white paper (approximately 2 m (6.6 ft.) (height) x 4 m (13.1 ft.) (width)) to use as a screen.

  1. Draw base lines (H, V LH, and V RH lines) on the screen as shown in the illustration.

    HINT:
    Mark the fog light bulb center marks on the screen. If the center mark cannot be observed on the fog light, use the center of the fog light bulb or the manufacturer's name marked on the fog light as the center mark.


    1. H Line (Fog light height):
      Draw a horizontal line across the screen so that it passes through the center marks. The H line should be at the same height as the fog light bulb center marks of the fog lights.

    2. V LH Line, V RH Line (Center mark position of left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) fog lights):
      Draw two vertical lines so that they intersect the H line at each center mark (aligned with the center of the fog light bulbs).



6. INSPECT FOG LIGHT AIMING

  1. Cover the fog light or disconnect the connector of the fog light on the opposite side to prevent light from the fog light that is not being inspected from affecting the fog light aiming inspection.

    NOTICE:
    Do not keep the fog light covered for more than 3 minutes. The fog light lens is made of synthetic resin, which may melt or be damaged due to excessive heat.

  1. Start the engine.



  1. Turn on the fog lights and check if the upper edge of the hot zone for each fog light matches the upper edge as shown in the illustration (except Taiwan).


    E168642E11

    HINT:

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the intelligent tester on, and turn the cruise control main switch on.

    4. Select "Auto" from the intelligent tester display screen.

    5. Select "Radar Cruise" from the display screen.

    6. Select "Utility" from the display screen.

    7. Select "Beam Axis Adjustment" from the display screen.

    8. Follow the tester display, and select "Next".

      CAUTION:

      NOTICE:
      1. Turn the cruise control main switch on before pressing "Next".
      2. Make sure there is at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) between the radar sensor and any nearby individuals.

    9. Check the following items on the laser cruise divergence data screen.

      NOTICE:
      While using the intelligent tester's beam axis adjustment mode, the actual direction and angle of the radar sensor may be different from the intelligent tester's data. In such a case, the deviation is displayed on the combination meter's multi-information display.

      1. Confirm that the distance value is approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.).

        HINT:
        1. A value between 0.0 m (0.0 ft.) and 6.3 m (20.7 ft.) should be indicated.
        2. If the distance is 0.0 m (0.0 ft.), the sensor cannot detect the target. Reconfirm that there is no metal in the specified area in front of the vehicle (refer to the Notice at the beginning of this adjustment procedure).

      2. Confirm that the left/right side value is between 0.0 m (0.0 ft.) and 6.3 m (20.7 ft.).

        HINT:
        If the distance is 0.0 m (0.0 ft.), the sensor cannot detect the target. Reconfirm that there is no metal in the specified area in front of the vehicle (refer to the Notice at the beginning of this adjustment procedure).



  1. Check and adjust the horizontal direction of the radar sensor.

    1. Check that the divergence of the radar beam axis is 0°.

      Standard:
      0° (Both right and left)

      If the axis is not as specified, use a screwdriver to adjust the bolt B until the divergence of the radar beam axis is 0°.



      2. E179698E01

    2. Based on the measured divergence of the beam axis, turn and adjust the bolt B for horizontal adjustment of the millimeter wave radar sensor using a screwdriver.
