Adjusting HeadlightsfPlease observe the chapter “LIGHTS, REPLA-
CING BULBS” on Page 244.
Adjustment
The adjustment is made with the vehicle ready to
drive and the fuel tank completely filled.
The driver’s seat must be loaded by a person or a
165 lbs. (75 kg) weight and the tire pressures
must meet the prescribed values.
After being loaded, the car must be rolled a few
meters so that the suspension can settle.
For checking the headlight adjustment, the verti-
cal position of the cutoff of the lowbeam (see fig.)
has to be projected on a vertical screen (wall) in
distance of 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) from the front lens of
the headlamp.
The correct position of the cutoff is 5 cm (2.0 in.)
at 7.5 m or 24.6 ft. (0.4°) below a horizontal line,
x cm from ground to the center of the headlamp
lens. Lateral adjustment of the headlights should be
carried out at a specialist workshop with an optical
adjustment unit.
Distance
Visual aim shall be performed at not less than
7.5 m (this value is a rounded down conversion
from the 25-foot distance typical of field aim using
a screen). The 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) distance is meas-
ured from the headlamp lens to the viewing
screen.
