Adjusting headlamps when driving abroad - AH82.10-P-0001-01A

Model 164, 169, 171, 172, 203, 204.0/2/9, 207, 209, 211, 212, 215, 216, 218, 219, 220, 221, 230, 245, 251 Headlamp with projection system (with halogen, xenon or full LED headlamps) 

The headlamp conversion is generally mechanical. Pressing a lever changes the position of a movable covering. The movable covering then covers up the part of the light beam which - through corresponding projection - is responsible for illuminating the edge of the roadway.

The lever for this purpose is located next to the bulb and can be accessed after removing the corresponding cover on the headlamp housing.

The lever's location, version and actuation are dependent on the manufacturer of the headlamp and the model.

Observe the safety regulations pertaining to handling high-voltage parts on xenon and bi-xenon headlamps.

The setting must be checked after the adjustment using a headlamp aimer.

On model 216  , the headlamps are adjusted electronically using Star Diagnosis.
