Before checking the headlight aim

  • Park your Subaru Solterra on a flat, level surface.
  • Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
  • Have a person seated in the driver’s seat to simulate normal driving conditions.
  • Gently bounce the vehicle several times to stabilize suspension position.

Adjusting the headlight aim

1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, rotate adjustment bolt A in the required direction.

Take note of both the rotation direction and the number of turns for accurate adjustment.

2. Adjust bolt B by turning it the same number of rotations and in the same direction as performed in step 1 to maintain alignment consistency in the Subaru Solterra.

If proper adjustment cannot be achieved using this method, have the Subaru Solterra inspected and adjusted by a SUBARU dealer.
