HEADLIGHTS
COMPENSATION FOR TILT
(
fig. 25
)
When the vehicle is loaded, the beam from
the headlights is raised due to the backwards
tilt of the vehicle.
In this case the headlights must be ad-
justed correctly.
To do this, use the rocker button ( A ), on
the plate at the side of the steering column:
– pressing the button in correspondence
with the arrow (
A
) increases by one posi-
tion (e.g.: 0
➟
1
➟
2
➟
3 );
– pressing the button in correspondence
with the arrow (
S
) decreases by one posi-
tion (e.g.: 3
➟
2
➟
1
➟
0 );
The display ( B ) in the speedometer shows
the position while adjustment takes place.

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
(
fig. 26
)
The dipped-beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the ve-
hicle is marketed. In countries with opposite
circulation, to avoid glaring oncoming vehi-
cles it is necessary to cover the areas of the
headlight as shown below; this is done us-
ing non-transparent sticker tape.
The illustration refers to the passage from
left-hand drive to right-hand drive.

boot;

Check headlight aiming
every time the load carried
changes.
