Headlamp Adjustment
The image and the following description apply to analog headlamp adjusting units. Pay attention to the Owner's Manual for the digital headlamp adjusting units for example :VAS209B or :VAS621001 . Refer to the Headlamp Adjusting Unit Owner's Manual.
- The horizontal cut-off line must touch the cut-off line -1- on the adjusting unit test surface.
- The bend point -2- between the left horizontal part and the right rising part of the cut-off line must run vertically through the central mark -3-. The bright core of the light beam must be to the right of the vertical.
-- To determine the bend point -2- more easily, cover and uncover the left half of the headlamp (seen in direction of travel) several times. Then check the low beam again.
- After adjusting the low beam according to the instructions, the center of the high beam light beam must be on the central marking -3-.
-- Turn the adjusting screw -3- to adjust laterally.
-- To adjust the height of the headlamp -1-, first set the cut-off line just under the dividing line with the adjustment screw -2-.
-- Then adjust the cut-off line on the dividing line starting from the bottom.
The right headlamp layout is a mirror image.
-- End the "basic setting" after a successful headlamp adjustment. Switch off the ignition and disconnect the diagnostic connector.
