MODIFICATION NOTES

Removing 1 Drive vehicle onto level surface. The vehicle must be in the ready-to-drive condition (curb weight, fuel tank full or corresponding additional weight). Front wheels in straight-ahead position. 2 Check tire pressure, correct if necessary AP40.15-P-4061MCU 3 Place 75 kg or one person on driver seat and set headlamp height adjustment to "0" 4 Remove maintenance flap Checking 5 Align headlamp aimer with the vehicle and perform height adjustment towards the center of the headlamps Follow operating instructions of the headlamp aimer. Headlamp aimer 6 Switch on left high beam (E1e1) and right high beam (E2e1) 7 Check adjustment of the left high beam (E1e1) and right high beam (E2e1), if necessary adjust the left high beam (E1e1) or right high beam (E2e1) at the adjustment screw (horizontal) (2) AP82.10-P-8260-02MCC 8 Remove rivet (3) or expanding rivet (4) which is located above the adjustment screw (vertical) (1) If the left high beam (E1e1) or right high beam (E2e1) has to be adjusted in the vertical direction. The expanding rivet (4) can be removed when the left front lamp unit (E1) or right front lamp unit (E2) is installed. To drill out the rivet (3) the left front lamp unit (E1) or right front lamp unit (E2) must be removed. See: ↓ Remove/install lamp unit AR82.10-P-4730MCU 9 Install left front lamp unit (E1) and right front lamp unit (E2) If the rivet (3) above the adjustment screw (vertical) (1) has been removed. AR82.10-P-4730MCU 10 Adjust the left high beam (E1e1) or right high beam (E2e1) at the adjustment screw (vertical) (1) If the left high beam (E1e1) or right high beam (E2e1) has to be adjusted in the vertical direction. AP82.10-P-8260-02MCC 11 Switch on left low beam (E1e2) and right low beam (E2e2) 12 Check adjustment of the left low beam (E1e2) and the right low beam (E2e2) if necessary adjust the left low beam (E1e2) or right low beam (E2e2) at the adjustment screw (horizontal) (2) AP82.10-P-8260-05MCC 13 Remove rivet (3) or expanding rivet (4) which is located above the adjustment screw (vertical) (1) If the left low beams (E1e2) or right low beam (E2e2) has to be adjusted in the vertical direction and the rivet (3) or expanding rivet (4) is still fitted. The expanding rivet (4) can be removed when the left front lamp unit (E1) or right front lamp unit (E2) is installed. To drill out the rivet (3) the left front lamp unit (E1) or right front lamp unit (E2) must be removed. See: ↓ Remove/install lamp unit AR82.10-P-4730MCU 14 Install left front lamp unit (E1) and right front lamp unit (E2) If the rivet (3) above the adjustment screw (vertical) (1) has been removed.
