Adjusting
headlights
I he setting of the headlights is very import­
ant to traffic safety. The adjustment should
tnerefore only be done
with
a special
appliance.
Note official regulations when
setting headlights.
On vehicles
with
beam
control* the
knurled disc on the instrument panel must

be
in the
basic
position (-).
Both illustrations show the adjustment on
the
right
hand headlight. On the
left
hand headlight the adjustment is symmetrically

opposite.

Main
headlights

The
headlights are adjusted from the
front

with
a suitable Phillips screwdriver
(from
ve­
hicle
tools). The bonnet must be released or

open..

A
- Vertical adjustment
Turning clockwise lowers the headlights.
B

Fog
lights*

The
front
foglights are adjusted by a knurled
wheel mounted on the foglight behind the bumper. To adjust, push the
flat
end of a
screwdriver through the opening adjacent
to the foglight (see Fig.) and rotate knurled

wheel.

On
vehicles without a spoiler the knurled
wheel can also be turned by hand.

Tow
starting/towing

General
notes

• "owing eyes are provided on the
right
under
front
and rear bumpers.

Tow-ropes
or bars should be attached at

these
points only.

On
vehicles
with
a factory
fitted
towing bracket a towing eye is not fitted. On those

vehicles
the towing bracket can be used for
towing.
• The tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the risk of damage to both ve­
hicles.
It is advisable to use synthetic fibre

ropes,
or ropes of similar elastic material. It
is
however
safer
to use a
tow-bar!

Avoid
excessive towing
effort
and do not

jerk.
During towing operations on other than
surfaced
roads there is always the danger

that
the attachment points will be over­
loaded
and damaged.
•
Before
trying
to
start
engine
by
towing,
the
battery
from
another
ve­
hicle
should be used for
starting
if
possible - see previous page. If the
vehicle
has to be tow
started

or
towed
at any
time,
the
following

must
be noted:
•
Check
whether there are any local traffic regulations concerning the towing of ve­

hicles.

• Both drivers must be familiar
with
tow­ ing procedures. Inexperienced drivers

should
not attempt to tow start or tow.
• When using a tow-rope the driver of the towing vehicle must engage the clutch very gently when moving off and changing gear.
• The driver of the vehicle being towed must ensure
that
the tow-rope is always

taut.
• The emergency lights must be switchec
on on both vehicles - unless local regula­
tions differ.
• Turn ignition key to "Drive" position sc
that
the steering wheel is free and the
turr
signals,
horn, and, if necessary, the wind­

screen
wiper and washer can be
used.

• As the brake servo only works when the engine is running, considerably more pres­

sure
is required on the brake pedal when the
engine is not running.
• On vehicles
with
power assisted steer­ ing more force is required to
turn
steering
wheel when engine is not running.
• When there is no lubricant in the manua or automatic gearbox, the vehicle may only

be
towed
with
driving wheels lifted.
