The bend point -2- between the left horizontal part and the right rising part of the light-dark border must run vertically through the central mark -3-. The bright core of the light beam must be to the right of the vertical.

NOTE:

To determine the point -2- more easily, cover and uncover the left half of the headlamp several times. Then check low beam again.

After correct adjustment of the low beam, the center of the high beam light beam must be on the central marking -3-.

The adjustment for the test screen with the 15° adjustment line also applies to the new test screen. To avoid incorrect adjustments, ignore the 15° adjustment line arrow.

-- If the headlamp adjustment is not OK: adjust the headlamp. Refer to HEADLAMP, ADJUSTING .
