HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT
On vehicles fitted with this function, control A allows you to adjust the height of the beams according to the load.
Turn control A downwards to lower the headlights and upwards to raise them.
For vehicles not fitted with a control A, the headlight adjustment is automatic, depending on the vehicle load.
For manual settings Examples of adjustment positions of control A according to the load and the headlight | ||
|---|---|---|
Halogen headlights | LED headlight | |
Driver alone or with front passenger | 0 | 0 |
All seats occupied | 1 | 1 |
Driver with passengers and luggage (or load) reaching the maximum permissible all-up weight | 3 and 4 | 3 |
Driver without passengers and luggage (or load) reaching the maximum permissible all-up weight | 4 | 4 |
The table below gives some examples. In all cases, adjust control A according to the vehicle load so that the road can be seen and other drivers are not dazzled.
When driving on the left in a lefthand drive vehicle (or vice versa), you must adjust your lights temporarily during your stay.
Temporary adjustment for vehicles fitted with halogen headlights
Open the bonnet and identify the marking B next to one of the front headlight projectors.
For each headlight, using a screwdriver, turn the screw 1 by a quarter turn towards the - symbol to lower the beams.
Return to the original position once your trip is over: turn the screw 1 a quarter of a turn towards the + symbol to raise the beams.
