Checking the Function of the Vehicle's Lights

Adjusting the main headlights

1. Open the luggage compartment lid.

2. Remove the luggage compartment mat on the wheel housing wall.







3. Open the cover for the headlight adjustment screws.

4. Clean the cover lens and switch on the dipped beam headlights.


NOTE:
- The vehicle must be on a horizontal surface!
- Make the adjustment with the regulator switch set to 0 (headlight beam adjustment)!
- Use a standard 5 mm ball-head screwdriver to make the headlight adjustment (free blade length 150 mm)!
- Only the lower screw may be turned for height adjustment; for lateral adjustment the upper and lower screws must be turned in the same direction and for the same number of rotations!







5. Make the adjustment with the vehicle ready for driving (fuel tank full, driver's seat occupied by a person or 75 kg, the tire pressure must correspond to the stipulated values) using a headlight adjustment unit.


Adjustment


NOTE:
- Set the headlight adjustment unit to 10 cm/10 m (1%)!
- With this alignment, preference must be given to the central zone around the salient point of the light/dark limit!


First, make the vertical adjustment of the dipped beam headlights.

1. To do this, line up the light/dark borderline running upwards at an angle on the right-hand side with the dotted 15° line of the adjustment unit.
Next, perform the horizontal adjustment of the dipped beam headlights.







2. To do this, line up the left, horizontal part of the light/dark limit (in the case of driving on the right) with the dotted horizontal line of the adjustment unit.


NOTE:
- The distance between the headlights and the adjustment unit should be as small as possible!
- It should not exceed 30 cm, because if the distance is greater, it is no longer possible to define the formation of the light/dark limit in the adjustment unit clearly!


3. Secure the plugs after making the adjustment.

4. For Xenon headlights the ignition must be switched off and on after adjustment with the lights switched on.

5. After this, the adjustment must be checked again.
