How to Adjust the Headlight Height of the Prado?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the headlight height of the Prado is: 1. There is a set of light combination switches on the left side of the Toyota Prado steering wheel. Press the relevant button to adjust the headlights; 2. There is a screw rod above the headlights to control the light level. Insert a screwdriver to adjust it according to your requirements. The Prado's front suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a four-link non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 280ps, a maximum power of 206kw, a maximum torque of 365nm, and is matched with a 6-speed manual-automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Prado for many years, and adjusting the headlight height is actually quite easy. First, park the car on a flat surface, preferably in a garage or find a wall at night to shine the lights on. Check if there's an adjustment knob next to the steering wheel; if there is, just turn it to adjust the height directly. My older Prado model doesn't have this knob, so open the hood and look for the adjustment screws behind the headlights. There's usually a specific point for adjusting the up and down position—use a Phillips screwdriver to turn it slowly. Be careful when adjusting; don't make too big of a change at once. Adjust until the light beam on the wall is at the right height—too high and it'll blind oncoming drivers, too low and you won't see the road well. When testing, don't forget to walk a few steps to check the actual effect. This way, you save money on a mechanic and get a sense of accomplishment doing it yourself. It's best to set a reminder to check periodically to avoid any surprises.
