If the remote release at the driver’s seat*
does not operate properly, it is possible to

Headlight range controlIf the low beam is switched on, it can be
matched exactly to the load of the vehi-
cle with the headlight range control.

You can turn the knurled wheel until the
low beam has been adjusted in such a way
that other road users are not dazzled.
The individual headlight beam settings cor-
respond approximately to the following ve-
hicle load:
- - driver, front passenger
I - 5 persons
II - 5 persons and an additional 180 kg in
the luggage compartment, in line with the
permissible load of the front and rear axles
III - driver and an additional 330 kg in the
luggage compartment, in line with the per-
missible load of the front and rear axles.
Warning
Adjust the headlight beam control,
so that the traffic on the opposite
side is not dazzled.
Headlights fitted with Xenon bulbs adapt
automatically to the load and driving
state (e.g. accelerating, braking) when
ignition is switched on and when driv-
ing.
