Low Beam Adjustment

Certain markets have beam level adjustment
Beam level adjustment is a device whereby the driver can correct low beam height.

The reason for this is so that the driver can easily compensate for the beam length with different loads and thus avoid blinding on-coming traffic.







Adjustment motor
Beam adjustment consists of a control (1) and positioning motors (2) mounted on the headlamps (3). These motors' outgoing axles are linked to the headlamp reflectors (4).

The motors are controlled by a value set on the control.

The reflector is steered by tilting the top forward.

The control
There is an adjuster wheel on the control and also a scale with markings from 0 to 5. Position 5 corresponds to an unloaded car. Adjustment is carried out in half steps, which means that there are 11 possible positions. The higher the figure the adjustment button is set to, the shorter the beam. Each whole step on the control corresponds to 1 mm movement on the motor's outgoing axle.

Adjusting the beam
Beam adjustment must only be carried out on low beam.

The adjustment values recommended in the instruction manual vary depending on the load, type of car, rear axle, suspension and type of shock absorbers.
