The degree of tilt in "%" is indicated on the plug above the headlight. The headlights must be adjusted according to this value. This parameter in percentage is calculated for a projection distance of 10 m. When recalculating the tilt of 1.0%, you get 10 cm.

For vehicles with halogen headlights with manual headlight range adjustment

The headlight range control wheel must be in the "0" position.

Load capacity one passenger or 75 kg on the driver's seat in a vehicle without cargo (net weight).

If the fuel tank is less than 90% full, load the vehicle as follows:
