Test Diagram for Dynamic High Beam Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

For the dynamic high beam control test diagram, it is necessary to move the headlamps to the basic setting using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

The basic setting can only be performed using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester and it activates the dynamic light assist light distribution by itself.

Make sure that the adjusting eyepiece on the headlamp adjusting unit is aligned correctly. Only when this has been done can the headlamps be adjusted so that they do not blind on-coming traffic.

The low beam adjustment can also be checked on vehicles with dynamic light assist. Refer to Test Diagram for Low Beams .

-- With the high beams switched on, check whether the horizontal cut-off line contacts the dividing line -1- on the test surface.

-- Check whether the bend point -2- between the right horizontal part and the left ascending part of the cut-off line runs vertically through the central point -3-. The bright center of the light beam must be on the left of the vertical line.

NOTE:

The adjustment display only applies to the left headlamp. The adjustment display for the right headlamp is a mirror image.
