    NOTE:
    • The vehicle must be on a horizontal surface!
    • Make the adjustment with the regulator switch set to 0 (headlight beam adjustment)!
    • Use a standard 5 mm ball-head screwdriver to make the headlight adjustment (tree blade length 150 mm)!
    • Only the lower screw may be turned for height adjustment; for lateral adjustment the upper and lower screws must be turned in the same direction and for the same number of rotations!
  5. Make the adjustment with the vehicle ready for driving (fuel tank full, driver's seat occupied by a person or 75 kg, the tyre pressure must correspond to the stipulated values) using a headlight adjustment unit.
