Inclination value:
The inclination value is marked in "%" at the headlight housing.
The headlights must be set to this value. The percentage value
applies up to 10 metres projection distance. This will be 10 cm for
an inclination value of e.g. 1.0 %.
Inspecting headlight beam setting and adjusting if necessary
Halogen headlights:
– Check whether the light beam -1- generates the light-dark limit
on the dividing line -2- of the control surface when the low
beam is switched on.
– Check whether the kink -4- between the left horizontal part and
the ascending right part of the light/dark limit intersects with
the central mark -3- on the vertical line. The light core of the
light beam must be located to the right of the vertical line.
Note
To easily determine the kink -4- alternately cover and uncover
♦
the left half of the headlight (in the driving direction) a few
times. After this, check the low beam once 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 headlight setting on the control screen with adjusting line
♦
15° -1- is analogous to the headlight setting on the control
screen without this adjusting line.
To prevent an incorrect headlight adjustment, the adjusting
♦
line 15° -1- must not be observed however.
Xenon headlights:
– Check whether the deepest part of the light beam -1- gener‐
ates the light-dark limit on the dividing line -2- of the control
surface when the low beam is switched on.
– Check whether the kink -4- between the left horizontal part and
the ascending right part of the light/dark limit intersects with
the central mark -3- on the vertical line.
