in the vehicle and the load it is carrying,
the headlight axis may be higher than
desired. If the vehicle is traveling on a hilly
road, the headlights may directly hit the
rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead or
the windshield of the oncoming vehicle.
The light axis can be lowered with the
operation of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the
switch, the lower the axis.
When traveling with no heavy load or on a
flat road, select position 0.
