• On vehicles with gas discharge headlights the event memory
should be cleared before every headlight adjustment using
vehicle diagnostic tester and the headlight range control
should be set to basic setting.
Note
For vehicles for North America the side adjustment of headlight
is not permitted and has therefore an adjustment bolt secured
against turning.
Inclination information in “%” is stamped in trim above headlight.
Headlight adjustment must be performed according to this infor‐
mation. Percentage given is based on a projection distance of 10
metres. For example: inclination of 1.0 % converts to approx. 10
cm.
For vehicles in the North American market, an inclination of 0.7
% is to be set.
Note
For certain export markets, halogen headlights with manually
regulated headlight range control are not offered.
