Proceed as follows:
1. Place the vehicle in conditions of use, without load, with the tyres inflated to
the prescribed pressure on flat grounds at 10 m from a white screen placed
in semidarkness. Make sure the vehicle axis is perpendicular to the screen;
2. Draw two vertical lines "a-a" at a distance «A» corresponding to the distance
between headlight axes. Draw a horizontal line "b-b" at height «B» from

travel. Switch the dipped beam headlight on. Direct the beam so that the
horizontal line between the light and the shade falls above the horizontal "b-
b" drawn on the screen;
