HEADLIGHT BEAM HEIGHT CONTROL
The angle of the dipped beams is affected by the distribution of
passenger and luggage weight within the car. It is important that
the headlights are adjusted to ensure that the point at which they
meet the road surface provides adequate illumination ahead of the
vehicle, without dazzling other road users.
Using the following load conditions as a guide, adjust the height
of the headlight beams by moving the control (arrowed in inset).
Saloon settings
• Position ‘0’
Driver, or driver and front seat passenger only (no luggage).
• Position ‘1’
Driver and four passengers (no luggage).
• Position ‘2’
Driver, four passengers and FULL luggage compartment.
• Position ‘3’
Driver, NO passengers and FULL luggage compartment.
Van settings
• Position ‘0’
Driver, or driver and front seat passenger only (no load).
• Positions ‘1’ and ‘2’
Intermediate positions depending on distribution of the load.
• Position ‘3’
Driver only, with a load giving the maximum rear axle weight.
NOTE: These loading definitions assume that all loads will be within the
limits of the maximum permissible axle and vehicle weights
