Active Xenon headlamps*
Headlamp control for adjusting headlamp pat-
tern.
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 caution due to the Xenon lamp
being supplied by a high-voltage unit.
The country in which the car is delivered
determines 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 pre-
ceding 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, see page 101. The
templates have a scale of 1:2. Use a pho-
tocopier with a zoom function for exam-
ple, and copy the templates at 200%:
•
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.
3. Start from the design line on the head-
lamp lenses, see the dotted line on the
side 100. Position the self-adhesive tem-
plates at the right distance from each
design line using the illustration and the
dimensions in the following list:
•
A = LHD Right - approx. 86 mm
•
B = LHD Left - approx. 40 mm
•
C = RHD Right - 0 mm
•
D = RHD Left - approx. 96 mm
