- the car is not loaded;
- the tire pressure is normal;

Figure 323. Location of headlight adjustment screws: 1 - side adjustment screw; 2 - vertical adjustment screw
To adjust the light in the headlights, use the adjusting screws installed on the left and right. Screw 2 (figure 323) designed to adjust the light height, screw 1 - for lateral adjustment.
To adjust the headlights, you need to perform the following operations:
- run the engine briefly and set the headlight corrector (if installed) to position 0;
- park the car approximately 10 m from a light wall or garage door. If you only need to adjust one headlight, set its beam of light at the same height as the beam of light of the other (adjusted) headlights;
Figure 324. Headlight adjustment template
- if it is necessary to adjust both headlights, make the appropriate markings on the wall or garage door, as shown in the figure 324.
The headlights must be adjusted as follows:
- place the car exactly 10 m from the wall. At height d (height from ground to center of headlights) draw a horizontal line F;
- draw a second line A parallel to the first one 5 cm lower. This line is intended for adjusting the low beam;
- from the central axial line M mark the distances a with crosses (to the center of the high beam headlights) and f (to the center of the low beam headlights);
- turn on the high beam, close one of the headlights and check that the center of the beam falls on the center of the made cross line f. If this is not the case, adjust using the screw shown in the figure 323;
- install the high beam of the other headlight in the same way;
- switch the headlights to low beam and check that the beams hit the cross of line a.
Note: To ensure traffic safety, headlights should be adjusted at a service station that has the appropriate equipment.
