Lights & Indicators
HEADLIGHT BEAM HEIGHT ADJUSTER
The angle of the dipped beams is affected by the distribution of
passenger and luggage weight within the car. It is important that
the headlights are adjusted to ensure that the point at which the
beams of light meet the road surface provides adequate
illumination ahead of the vehicle, without dazzling other road
users.
Automatic adjustment
Cars fitted with Xenon headlights are equipped with a headlight
levelling system, which automatically adjusts the height of the
headlight beams for varying load conditions.
NOTE: Any failure of the automatic levelling system will be apparent
from the headlight beams maintaining their lowest position, regardless of
vehicle load, in which case the vehicle should be taken to a dealer for
rectification at the earliest opportunity.
Manual adjustment
Using the following load conditions as a guide, adjust the
headlights by rotating the adjuster wheel (see inset):
•
Position ‘0’
Driver only, or driver plus a front seat passenger.
•
Position ‘1’
Up to all the seats occupied plus an evenly distributed load in
the boot.
•
Position ‘2’
Driver only, plus an evenly distributed load in the boot.
These loading definitions assume that all loads will be within the
limits of the maximum permissible axle and vehicle weights
