Automatic headlight range control
To prevent dazzling oncoming traffic, the gas
discharge headlights have to be equipped with
an automatic headlight range control.
The control unit for automatic headlight range
control determines the car’s load condition by
two sensors located on the front and rear axles
on the left of the car. It continuously adjusts
the headlight via the actuator to ensure that
the road is always illuminated optimally.
Manual adjustment is no longer provided.
