Head Lamp Aiming: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Kia Soul. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • The headlamps should be aimed with the proper beam-setting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
  • If there are any regulations pertinent to the aiming of headlamps in the area where the vehicle is to be used, adjust so as to meet those requirements.

If beam-setting equipment is not available, proceed as follows: 

  1. Inflate the tires to the specified pressure and remove any loads from the vehicle except the driver, spare tire, and tools.
  2. The vehicle should be placed on a flat floor.
  3. Draw vertical lines (passing through respective headlamp centers) and a horizontal line (passing through center of headlamps) on the screen.
  4. If headlamp leveling device is equipped, adjust the headlamp leveling device switch with 0 positions.
  5. With the headlamps and battery in normal condition, aim the headlamps so the brightest portion falls on the horizontal and vertical lines.
