Confirm the result of the horizontal auto aiming following the onscreen instructions of the HDS.
NOTE: The result of all auto aiming can be confirmed by the HDS, by the figure and words displayed on the MID, or by the brake lights illuminating. When the figure is not in the range 100±2 or a tone is sounded by the vehicle when the aiming point is out of specification, or when the brake lights do not come on, the auto aiming is not completed correctly. If DTC 120,121,122,123, or 124 is indicated, the aiming target is not set correctly. Reset the aiming target.
