Mitsubishi Outlander headlight check and adjustment 

1. Pre-check and, if necessary, bring the tire pressure to normal.

2. Position the vehicle perpendicular to a smooth wall (eg in a garage) at a distance of 3 m. Place an additional 75 kg weight on the driver's seat.

3. Mark the screen on the wall as shown in Figure 10.10. 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.

4. Measure the height of the center of the headlights from the floor on your car. This will be the distance h on the screen. Measure the distance between the centers of the headlights. This will be the WL distance.

5. Set the regulator of the electrocorrector of headlights on the dashboard to the position corresponding to the load of the car with one driver.

6. Turn on the low beam.

7. Cover the right headlight with an opaque material.

8. Open the hood and place it on the stop.

9. Turning the adjusting screws (shown on the removed headlamp for clarity) of the left (in the direction of the vehicle) headlights, adjust the position of the light spot on the screen horizontally (with screw B) and vertically (with screw A), if the location of the light spots does not match the picture.

10. Adjust the right headlight in the same way.

11. 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.

Turning the adjusting screws (shown on the removed headlamp for clarity) of the left (in the direction of vehicle movement) headlights, adjust the position of the light spot on the screen horizontally (with screw B) and vertically (with screw A), if the location of the light spots does not match the picture.
