Checking and adjusting headlights Mitsubishi Lancer X

Tools:

Phillips screwdriver medium
3/4 "end bit
Extension
Wrench attachment 10 mm

Note:

Lancer 10 headlight adjustment is carried out with a fully filled fuel tank, a set of tools and a spare wheel.

1. Pre-check and, if necessary, adjust the tire pressure as described in this article .

2. Park the vehicle perpendicular to a smooth wall (eg a garage) at a distance of 7.62 m. Place an additional 75 kg weight on the driver's seat. Mark the screen on the wall as shown in the photo below. The longitudinal plane of symmetry of the vehicle should follow line 0 on the screen. Rock the car from the side to allow the suspension springs to self-align.

Note:

Measure the height of the center of the headlights from the floor on your car. This will be the distance h on the screen. The nominal distance h is 679.5 mm.

3. Set the regulator of the electrocorrector of headlights on the dashboard to position "0", corresponding to the load of the car with one driver or with a driver and a passenger in the front seat.

4. Turn the handle around the lever axis and turn on the dipped headlights.

Note:

It is recommended to adjust the direction of the light spot for each headlamp separately. Cover the second headlamp with an opaque material during adjustment.

5. Open the hood.

6. If the location of light spots does not correspond to the figure in item 2, adjust their location by turning adjusting screws A and B horizontally or vertically, respectively (for clarity, the location of the bolts is shown on the removed headlight).

A - vertical adjustment bolt;
B - horizontal adjustment bolt.

Note:

It is more convenient to turn the bolts with a long head.

7. It is more convenient to turn the horizontal adjustment bolt with a Phillips screwdriver by inserting the screwdriver into the hole near the car fender.

8. The headlights are considered adjusted when the upper boundaries of the left parts of the light spots coincide with line 4 , and the vertical lines 1 and 2 pass through the points E1 and E2 of intersection of the horizontal and inclined sections of the light spots.

9. If fog lights are installed on the car, then the direction of their light beam is adjusted only in height. The adjusting screw with a cross-blade screwdriver is located in the depth of the hole in the fog lamp trim.

Note:

Position the car at a distance of 3 m from the screen and turn the adjusting screws until the upper boundaries of the light spots are 6 cm below line 4.
