Headlight adjustment (Renault Sandero 1)

Check and adjust headlights on a loaded vehicle (with a full fuel tank, tool kit and spare tire).

You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver.

1. Pre-check and, if necessary, adjust the air pressure in the tires to the correct level.

2. Position the car perpendicular to a smooth wall (for example, in the garage), at a distance of 3 m. Place an additional weight of 75 kg on the driver's seat. Mark the screen on the wall as shown in Fig. 10.5. The longitudinal plane of symmetry of the car should pass along line 0 on the screen. Rock the car in the transverse direction so that the suspension springs self-align.

3. Measure the distance from the center of the headlights to the floor on your car. This will be the distance h on the screen.

4. Install the headlight range control regulator (if it is installed) on the instrument panel to a position corresponding to the load of the vehicle with one driver.

5. Turn on the low beam.

6. It is recommended to adjust the direction of the light spot for each headlight separately. Cover the second headlight with opaque material during adjustment.



7. Open the hood and, by turning the adjusting screw, adjust the horizontal position of the light spot on the screen for each headlight (in the photo the battery has been removed for clarity)...





8. ...and vertically, if the location of the light spots does not correspond to the picture.

9. The headlights are considered adjusted when the upper boundaries of the left parts of the light spots coincide with line 4 (see fig. 10.5), and vertical lines 1 and 2 pass through points E1 and E2 of intersection of horizontal and inclined sections of light spots.
