AP82.10-P-8260-02GZ Check Setting Of High Beam

Danger:
- Risk of death caused by high voltage levels present at xenon headlamps.
- Risk of explosion/fire hazard due to highly flammable substances in the area of damaged xenon bulbs.
- Risk of injury due to UV light, hot components on xenon headlamps and glass splinters when xenon bulbs burst.
- Risk of poisoning caused by inhalation of mercury vapors and by toxic salts and mercury compounds being ingested or coming into contact with skin

Do not come into contact with parts that are under high voltage. Persons with active electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must never work on xenon headlamps. Switch off entire lighting system. Wear insulated safety shoes, safety glasses and protective gloves. Remove highly inflammable materials from the hazard area. Ensure sufficient ventilation in the working area.

Do not perform any correction at the headlamp adjustment screws (H, S), as in the process the low beams will be maladjusted.

1 Check whether the centering point of the high beam lies on the central mark (1) in the headlamp aimer (01).

On vehicles with bi-xenon headlamp it should be checked whether the blinds, which partially cover the light cone of the xenon hot space for the low beams, swing open completely and thus release the complete high beam cone.

Component Identification:

Shown on a left front bi-xenon light unit

2 In the event of deviations check the correct seat of the bulbs of the left high beam (E1e1) or right high beam (E2e1) and if necessary correct by turning the corresponding adjustment screws on the back of the lamp unit below the housing cover of the left high beam (E1e1) or right high beam (E2e1).

On vehicles with bi-xenon headlamps, switch off high beam and by means of STAR DIAGNOSIS only switch on the bulbs of the left high beam (E1e1) and right high beam (E2e1), otherwise the light cone of the high beam of the xenon hot space overlay with those of the conventional high beam.
