Adjusting the headlamp range
The headlamp range control allows you to
adjust the cone of light from the head-
lamps according to how your vehicle is la-
den. The cone of light otherwise changes
when seats are occupied or when the boot
is loaded or unloaded. This could impair
the lighting and dazzle oncoming traffic.
!
The boot may only be laden up to the maxi-
mum permissible boot load. The permissible
rear axle load must not be exceeded.
i
Models with xenon headlamps* do not
have a thumbwheel. The headlamp range is ad-
justed automatically.
You can only adjust the headlamp range
while the engine is running.
