Headlight adjustment
The height of the headlight beams can be adjusted according to vehicle load. The headlights should be
reaimed if heavy loads are carried in the trunk/cargo area or rear seat, or when towing a trailer.
To adjust the headlights:
· Park the car on a level surface and open the hood.
· The headlights are equipped with a level which can be seen by looking through the clear "window" on
the top of the headlight lens.
· Turn the height adjustment knob until the bubble in the level aligns with the "0" marks or within the
dark marking lines.
Lateral headlight adjustment should only be carried out by an authorized Volvo retailer. The
lateral adjustment scale should be preset at "0".
