Adjusting headlamp level
Headlamp levelling1 is adjusted using one of the thumbwheels in the instrument panel.
The load in the car changes the vertical alignment of the headlamp beam, which could dazzle oncoming motorists. Avoid this by adjusting the headlamp level. Lower the beam if the car is heavily laden.
Keep the engine running or the car's electrical system in ignition position I.
Roll the thumbwheel up/down to raise/lower headlamp level.
The position in which the thumbwheel should be set for a number of load cases is shown below.
