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.
