HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT - DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

The adjustment of the headlamp light beam according to the load is carried out by means of a special device (located inside the front light cluster) which tilts it appropriately, lowering the light beam if the vehicle is heavily laden and raising it if the load lessens.

Two buttons, located in the controls to the left of the steering wheel, allow the adjustment of the headlamps in 4 vertical positions from 0 to 3:

- position 0: one or two persons in the front seats, full fuel tank, fully equipped (vehicle in running order);

- position 1: five persons;

- position 2: five persons with full luggage compartment (about 50 kg);

- position 3: driver and 300 kg load, all stowed in the luggage compartment (full load);

The device is enabled only with the dipped beams on.

The relay which controls the engagement of the dipped headlamps also supplies the adjustment motors inside the headlamps; this relay for switching the dipped headlamps on is managed by the Body Computer: worelay energizing is activated by enablement signals with key in the ON position and by the steering column switch unit dipped headlamps control.
