Note
To simplify finding the breaking point -2-, cover and uncover
♦
left (from driver perspective) half of the headlight a few times.
Then check dipped beam again.
After correct adjustment of dipped beams, the centre point of
♦
the main beam must lie on the centre mark -3-.
For the previous test screen with 15° setting line, adjust as for
♦
new test screen. To avoid incorrect settings, ignore the 15 °
setting line.
Checking headlight adjustment on fog lights:
– Check whether the upper bright/dark boundary touches the
setting line and runs horizontally over the entire width of the
test screen.
Other additional lights:
Additionally retrofitted lights of other systems must be checked
and set according to valid guidelines.

perform basic setting
Basic setting
Because the automatic headlight range control does not have a
manual adjustment, the basic setting procedure must be per‐
formed to adjust the headlights.
The adjusting mechanism in the headlight housing will be dam‐
aged if the automatic range control basic settings are not per‐
formed.
After the headlights have been adjusted, the fault memory must
be read. Therefore, the procedure described here must be strictly
followed.
