E00506400826
The
angle of the headlamp beam varies depending
on the load carried by the vehicle.
The headlamp levelling switch can be used to ad-
just the headlamp illumination distance (when the
lower beam is illuminated) so that the headlamps’
glare does not distract other drivers.

the appropriate position according to the number of
people and the load in the vehicle. CAUTION

Always
perform adjustments before driv-
ing.
Do not attempt to adjust while driving, as
it could cause an accident.
