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

The
headlights are adjusted from the
front

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

open..

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.

Masking
headlights

When the vehicle is used in a country which drives on the opposite side
of
the road to the
home country,
the
asymmetric dipped neadlights
will
dazzle oncoming
traffic.

To prevent this,
the
wedge-shaped sector on the headlight lenses must be covered
up

with
an
opaque adhesive strip.
The illustration shows
the
strip installed
for

the change
from
right
hand
to
left
hand
traffic.

When service installing
a
radio
or
replacing
a
set
installed
by the
factory
the
following points should
be
noted:

•

Attention

On
no account cut wires off and
leave
them
without
insulation. If

necessary
use a proper adapter.
Otherwise the wiring can be
overloaded or short circuits can
occur
- Fire danger!
Apart from this important elec­
tronic components can be damaged or the functioning impaired. If for
example the speed signal is
dis­

turbed this can lead to
faulty
man­ agement of engine, automatic gear­box, ABS etc.

Even
connecting the speed signal to
radio sets
with
speed dependent
vol­
ume control from other manufac­
turers can cause
such
faults.
