Aiming Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

If vehicle front body has been repaired and /or the fog lamp assembly has been replaced, check fog lamp aiming.
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following:
- Ensure all tires are inflated to correct pressure.
- Place vehicle and screen on level surface.
- Ensure there is no load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position). Coolant and engine oil is filled to correct level, and fuel tank full.
- Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.

Set the distance between the screen and the center of the front fog lamp lens as shown in illustration.
