Check For Proper Operation Of Automatic Light - Skoda Octavia II 2004 Maintenance Manual

Caution
The inclination value is marked on the top of the headlight
housing. The headlights must be set to this value.
The inclination value in "%" does not have a minus symbol.
The percentage value applies up to 10 metres projection dis‐
tance. This will be 10 cm for an inclination value of e.g. 1 %.
Inspecting the headlight beam setting
Headlights:
– Check whether the horizontal light/dark limit touches the sep‐
aration mark -1- on the test surface when the low beam light
is on.
– Check whether the inflection point -2- runs between the left
horizontal part and the right rising part of the light/dark limit
and through the central mark -3- on the vertical. The light core
of the light beam must be located to the right of the vertical
line.
Note
To make it easier to determine the kink -2-, alternately cover
♦
and release the left half of the headlight (in the direction of
motion) Afterwards, check the low beam again.
Once the low beam light has been correctly set, the centre of
♦
the light beam of the main beam must be positioned on the
central mark -3-.
The adjustment foreseen for the new control screen also ap‐
♦
plies for the previous one, which has a 15° adjusting line. To
avoid incorrect settings disregard the 15° adjusting line.
