Headlamp pattern, right-hand traffic.
The headlamp pattern must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming motorists and can be
set for right or left-hand traffic. The correct pat-
tern will also better illuminate the verge.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Xenon headlamps*
Headlamp control for adjusting headlamp pattern.
Normal position – the headlamp pattern is
correct for the country in which the car was
delivered.
Adapted position – designed for opposite
headlamp pattern.
WARNING
The headlamps must be handled with
extreme care due to the Xenon lamp being
supplied from a high-voltage unit.
The country in which the car is delivered deter-
mines whether normal position is designed for
right or left-hand traffic.
Example 1
If a car that is delivered in Sweden shall be
driven in the UK then the headlamps must be
set to the adjusted position, see preceding
illustration.
Example 2
A car that is delivered in the UK is designed for
left-hand traffic and is driven there with the
headlamps in normal position, see preceding
illustration.
Halogen headlamps
The headlamp pattern for halogen headlamps
is readjusted by masking the headlamp lens.
The headlamp pattern may not be as good.
Masking the headlamps
1. Copy the A and B templates for left-hand
drive cars or the C and D templates for
right-hand drive cars with a scale of 1:2,
see page 91. Use a photocopier with a
zoom function for example:
•
A = LHD Right (left-hand drive, right
lens)
•
B = LHD Left (left-hand drive, left lens)
•
C = RHD Right (right-hand drive, right
lens)
•
D = RHD Left (right-hand drive, left lens)
2. Transfer the template to a self-adhesive
waterproof material and cut it out.
