Head lamp low beam (LHD Vehicle)

Based on 10m screen

A: Vehicle axis

B: Vertical line of the left head lamp bulb centre

C: Vertical line of the right head lamp bulb centre

D: Horizontal line of head lamp bulb centre

E: Ground

F: Cut-Off line

1
Turn the low beam on with 1 driver (75kg) aboard.
2
The cut-off line should be projected in the cut-off line shown in the picture.
3
First, adjust Cut-off line to be matched with the horizontal line and then adjust with the vertical line.
4
If head lamp levelling device is equipped, adjust the head lamp levelling device switch with 0 positions.

* If aiming is needed, adjust the aiming point after the actual measurement of the ground clearance of a vehicle or visit Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner. It is because it may differ from the actual ground clearance of a vehicle.
