Adjusting the direction of headlights

Headlight direction switch

Turn the headlight switch to the ON position and set the headlight aiming switch to the "O" position (standard position of the reflector angle).

Attention:

When the headlight is on, do not touch its components with your hands (metal part, control unit, wiring, lamp, socket, etc.). Perform adjustments using the adjusting screws only.

Make adjustments using the adjusting screws. First tighten the screw, then make adjustments by loosening it.

Adjust the beam direction of the headlights using the adjusting screws.

Preparatory work before adjustment

2. Make sure there is no foreign cargo in the vehicle.

3. Clean the headlights from dirt.

Caution: Do not clean headlights with organic solvents.

4. Start the engine.

Removal and installation

See section "Halogen headlights".

Disassembly and assembly

Attention:

When replacing the lamp, remove the xenon headlight itself.

Insert the lamp tightly; if the xenon lamp is not inserted tightly into the socket, high voltage current leakage or corona discharge will occur. This may cause the lamp and/or socket to melt.

When the headlight is on, do not touch its components with your hands (metal part, control unit, wiring and socket).

After removing and installing the headlight, adjust the beam direction of the headlights.

When disposing of the lamp, do not break it. Place the lamp in a plastic bag and seal it tightly.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable or remove the power supply circuit fuse.

2. Remove the headlight from the vehicle.

3. Remove the plastic cover.

4. Turn the cartridge in the direction of the arrow and release it from the mount.
