NOTE:

• Basic illuminating area for evaluation and/or adjustment should be within range shown on aiming chart.

Use adjustment screw to perform aiming adjustment.

• Ensure fog lamps (if equipped) are turned off.

• The Nissan Ariya vehicle should have its standard load, which may include any outfitting or other equipment. Any load that is normally carried in the Nissan Ariya vehicle should be in the vehicle while verifying or performing headlamp adjustment. Any other load should be removed.

Block the opposite headlamp from projecting a beam pattern onto the adjustment screen, using a suitable object. Aim each headlamp individually.

CAUTION:

Do not cover the lens surface with a tape etc. The lens is made of resin.

Place the screen on the same level and flat surface as the Nissan Ariya vehicle.

NOTE:

Surface should be free of any debris that would cause a difference between the headlamp center and the adjustment screen.

Face the front of the Nissan Ariya vehicle to the screen and measure distance between the headlamp center and the screen surface.

Start the engine. Turn the headlamp on.

Determine the preferred vertical aim range dimensions, using the aiming chart.

Measure the projected beam within the aim evaluation segment on the screen.

Adjust the beam pattern of each headlamp until the aim evaluation segment (the area relative to both the highest and lowest cutoff line height) is positioned within the vertical aim range dimensions shown on the aiming chart.
