Mercedes-Benz Center if a fault or defect occurs.Adjusting headlamp aim
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely important.
To check and readjust a headlamp, follow steps 1
through 5.
Please note:
•Low beam adjustments simultaneously aim the high
beam.
•Vehicle should have a normal trunk load.
1. Park vehicle on level surface approximately 25 ft.
(7.6 m) from a vertical test screen or wall. The
centerline of the vehicle must be at a 90
° angle to
the test screen.

2. (Low beams on):
Using a carpenter’s level, align and mark a vertical
centerline (8) on the test screen using the vertex of
the angle formed in each beam image. As a check,
the distance between centerlines should be
49
1/4 inches (1250 mm). If the distance does not
check, have the system verified at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.3. (Low beams off):
Measure the vertical height from the floor to
reference point (10) on high beam lens. Subtract
approx. 2 inches (53 mm) from measurement, and
mark a horizontal centerline (9) on the test screen at
the resulting height from the floor. It must be at a
90
°angle to the vertical centerline.
