Test and setting conditions
•Tyre inflation pressure O.K.
•Lenses must neither be damaged nor soiled.
•Reflectors and bulbs O.K.
•Vehicle load must be achieved.
Load: With an individual or 75 kg on the driver's seat in an
otherwise unladen vehicle (dead weight).
The unladen weight is the weight of the vehicle with full
fuel tank (at least 90 %) including the weight of all the op-
erational equipment elements (e.g. spare wheel, tool kit,
jack etc.).
The vehicle must have rolled a few metres or have been
depressed a few times at the front and rear to allow the
springs to settle.
•Both the vehicel and headlight beam setting device
must be on a level flat surface.
•Align the vehicle and headlight beam setting device in
accordance with the device manufaturer's indications.
•Check the control system of vehicles equipped with
headlight beam control by repeatedly turning the
thumbwheel in the dash panel. Then turn the thum-
bwheel to basic position.
•Set the inclination value.
Inclination value:
The inclination value is marked in „%“ at the top of the
headlight housing. The main headlights must be set to
this value. The percentage value applies up to 10 metres
projection distance. This will be 12 cm for an inclination
value of e.g. 1.2 %.
Inspecting headlight beam setting and adjusting
if necessary
Main headlights:
–Check whether the horizontal light/dark limit touches
the separation mark -1- on the test surface when the
low beam light is on .
–Check whether the kink -2- between the left horizontal
part and the ascending right part of the light/dark limit
intersects with the central mark -3- on the vertical line.
The light core of the light beam must be located to the
right of the vertical line.132

♦To easily determine the kink -2-, alternately cover and
uncover the left half of the headlight (in the driving di-
rection) a few times. After this, check the low beam
once again.
♦Once the low beam light has been correctly set the
centre of the light beam of the main beam must be po-
sitioned on the central mark -3-.
♦The adjustment foreseen for the new control screen
also applies for the previous one, which has a 15 ad-
justing line. To avoid incorrect settings disregard the
15 adjusting line.
Other additional headlights:
Additionally fitted headlights must be inspected or set in
compliance with the relevant applicable directives.

Do not affix any stickers or cover over the padded boss of
the steering wheel -1- and the foam-lined surface of the
airbag unit on the front passenger side -2- or do not carry
out any modifications to these parts. These parts must
only be cleaned with a dry and slightly moistened cloth.
Inspect key switch for deactivation of
front passenger airbag
–Switch off ignition.

switched on, the airbag warning light in the front interior
light must no longer light up after approx. 3 seconds.
Key switch for deactivation of front passenger airbag
must only be turned when ignition is switched off. If the
position of the switch is changed, the airbag control unit
can evaluate a fault; the individual contacts in the switch
make contact during different time intervals and subse-
quently the warning lamp lights up in the dash panel in-
sert (there is no risk of airbag activation).
Check underbody protection and body
paintwork for damage
The inspection of the underbody sealant and paintwork
should cover the following points:
1) undamaged layer of PVC Plastisol

2) undamaged paintwork
–all body joints
–surround of windscreen
