Checking vehicle level sensor
- Connect Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051A --> «Vehicle Diagnostic, Testing and Information Systems»(ref-281400-S00894740912008031100000) .
- In Vehicle Diagnostic, Testing and Information System VAS 5051A , select operating mode "Guided Fault Finding".
- Using the "Go To" button, select "Functions/Component selection" and the following menu options in sequence
- Body
- Electrical Equipment
- 01 - On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capable systems
- Automatic Headlamp Range/Cornering Lamp Control
- Automatic headlamp range control electrical components
- Level control system sensor
- Adjusting headlamp with HID bulbs --> 01 - MAINTENANCE .
| CAUTION | Control modules of lighting system, connectors or components in area of lamp socket carry hazardous high voltage. Operating the control module and igniter is only permissible with lamp. |
| CAUTION | Switch off ignition, switch off all electrical components and remove ignition key. Make sure all components have zero potential when working on headlamp system, even residual voltage after switching off headlamps must be discharged. Residual voltages are discharged by switching low beam on and off again after ignition key was removed. Make sure lamps cannot be switched on when working on headlamp system. |
| CAUTION | Lamp must only be operated in headlamp housing (protection against contact because of hot lamp, absorption of ultraviolet radiation, avoiding danger of glare, explosion protection). Glass cones of bulbs can become very hot - danger of burns! Avoid looking directly into light beam, since UV radiation of gas discharge lamp is approx. 2.5 times higher than that of standard Halogen lamps. Avoid looking into light beam (danger of glare); vision can be impaired for a longer period of time. |
| CAUTION | Avoid contact with burst glass cone. H7 bulbs and gas discharge lamps (Xenon/Bi-Xenon) are under pressure and can burst when replaced - danger of injury! When removing and installing HID bulbs, always wear safety glasses and gloves. |
| CAUTION | Gas discharge lamps must be disposed of as hazardous waste, never dispose of gas discharge lamps via domestic waste. Gas discharge lamps contain metallic mercury (Hg) and traces of thallium, they must not be destroyed. These components must be returned for proper recycling in accordance with national legislation. Dispose of only in the designated containers at the responsible collection point. |
