  • 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 filled to correct level and fuel tank full.
  • Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.
  • Aim each front fog lamp individually and ensure other front fog lamp beam pattern is blocked from screen.
  • Adjust front fog lamp aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjusting screw.
