The driver is responsible for the correct headlight position and the correct headlight setting.

Additional information and warnings:

  • Exterior views
  • Changing bulbs
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if roads are not sufficiently illuminated and other road users have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or cannot see it at all.
  • Always switch the dipped beam headlights on if it is dark, raining or visibility is poor.
Setting headlights too high, and the incorrect use of the main beam, could distract and dazzle other road users. This can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
  • Always ensure that the headlights are adjusted correctly.
  • Never use the main beam or the headlight flasher if other road users could be dazzled.
