the headlights is raised due to the backwards
tilt of the vehicle.
In this case the headlights must be ad-
justed correctly.
To do this, use the rocker button (A), on
the plate at the side of the steering column:
– pressing the button in correspondence
with the arrow (
A) increases by one posi-
tion (e.g.: 0
➟1➟ 2➟3);
– pressing the button in correspondence
with the arrow (
S) decreases by one posi-
tion (e.g.: 3
➟2➟1➟0);
The display (B) in the speedometer shows
the position while adjustment takes place.
