Lincoln Nautilus: Maintenance / Adjusting the Headlamps
Vertical Aim Adjustment
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly
aimed at the assembly plant. If your vehicle
has been involved in a crash, have the aim
of the headlamp beam checked by an
authorized dealer.
Headlamp Aiming Target

- 8 ft (2.4 m).
- Center height of lamp to ground.
- 25 ft (7.6 m).
- Horizontal reference line.
Vertical Aim Adjustment Procedure
- Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall
or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 ft (7.6 m) away.
- Measure the height of the headlamp bulb
center from the ground and mark an 8 ft
(2.4 m) horizontal reference line on the
vertical wall or screen at this height.
Note: To see a clearer light
pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the light
from one headlamp while adjusting the
other.
- Turn on the low beam headlamps to
illuminate the wall or screen and open
the hood.

- On the wall or screen you will observe a
flat zone of high intensity light at the top
of the right hand portion of the beam
pattern. If the top edge of the high
intensity light zone is not at the horizontal
reference line, the headlamp needs to
be adjusted.

- Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in order
to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp. The horizontal edge of the
brighter light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
- Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
WARNING: Batteries normally
produce explosive gases which can cause
personal injury. Therefore, do not allow
flames, sparks or lighted substances to
come near the battery...
