NOTE:

To check the headlamp adjustment (excluding Matrix LED headlamps), the headlamp adjustment units VAS5208A, VAS621 005, VAS5046A and VAS5047A can also be used. Checking Matrix LED headlamps requires the VAS5209B or VAS621 001 adjustment units.

During inspection, the check is merely a shortened version of a headlamp adjustment test, which is due, for example, after repairs and does not replace this one.

Vehicle load and tire pressures do not need to be adjusted.

A basic setting for the headlamps does not need to be performed via the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

According to the service information specification, the checking and adjusting of the headlamps is a repair procedure and should be charged separately.
