ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM  
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams is of vital importance for your  
safety and comfort and also for the other road users. It is also a specific  
regulation of the road traffic code. To ensure you and other drivers have  
the best visibility conditions when travelling with the headlights on, the  
headlights must be set properly.

which the vehicle is marketed. In countries with opposite circulation, to  
avoid glaring oncoming vehicles it is necessary to cover the areas of the
