Repair Instructions.
Make sure that the warning sticker provided in the installation kit is affixed to the cross member above the
headlight
This xenon headlight installation kit does not require encoding, Instructions for checking the level sensor
and the cold light scan module are provided in Section 2.4 and in the information leaflet (Section 4).
If changes are made to the running gear or repairs conducted on the rear axle, the adjustment procedure for
the level sensor must be carried out as described in Section 2.4 and in the information leatlet (Section 4)
+Place the information leaflet (Section 4) and the white 2-pin socket housing (wire jumper, red wire)
unplugged during the adjustment procedure in the car's glovebox so that readjustment can be carried out

Safety notes
Particular care must be taken when installing cables/lines to ensure they are not kinked, bent or damaged.
Additionally installed cables/lines must be secured with cable straps,
(On no account use *Seotchiock quick-action connectors" as they can cause interference and disturbances in the
vehicle electrical system.
If specified pins or slots are already used, corresponding jumpers, double arimp or parallel connections are to be
used. To avoid problems, make sure you follow the specified cable routes in the vehicle precisely.241 Connections overview of xenon headlight wiring harness

Adjustment
Reassemble vehicle in reverse order of removal and connect battery as it must be moved for the adjustment
procedure.
Eline footwell on the right-hand side of the vehicle, however, must remain open for the adjustment. 4
Now move vehicle and carry out the adjustment procedure described under Fig. K.Fig. K
The vehicle should be parked unladen on a flat and even surface for the purpose of automatic adjustment of the
level sensor. Disengage gear or selector lever in position "N*. Release handbrake and start vehicle. Make sure that,
‘the battery voltage is not below 13.0V for the adjustment of the level sensor (battery must be charged). Unplug
branch A3, white 2-pin socket housing (wire jumper, red wire) from branch A, white 2-pin pin housing of xenon
headlight wiring hamess A. The adjustment is now completed. Now connect white 2-pin socket housing (8)
(Dummy, green wire) to the now free branch A2, white 2-pin pin housing of xenon headlight wiring harness A.
Electrical adjustment is now functional.
Park vehicle and switch off ignition.
Install ight module and tie back branches A2 to A9 of xenon headlight wiring harness A with cable straps,

(Section 4) in the car's glovebox as the adjustment procedure must be repeated in the event of any changes made
to the chassis or repairs carried out on the rear axle.
's information for checking the cold light scan module
ifthe message ‘check low beam headlight or the symbol" appears in the instrument cluster display, it is possible
that fuse (1) in the cold light scan module (2) is defective (5600 mA slow-blow fuse). After replacing the fuse, there
stil may be a fault in the cold light scan module or in the xenon headlight (replace cold light scan module or xenon
headlight).
formation for checking the level sensor
The level sensor in the rear right wheelhouse is checked as follows:
- Expose light module (1) in right-hand A-pillar
- Park unladen vehicle on flat and even surface:
- Disengage gear or selector lever in position *N* and release handbrake.
- Connect voltmeter between branch A6, yellow/red wire of xenon headlight wiring harness A and ground,
- Start vehicle.
- Measure voltage (setpoint 1.0 V).
- Luggage compartment laden with 150 kg (2 persons}
- The voltage value must increase (approx. 1.2 to 2 Volt) after 20 seconds.
- If the voltage does not increase, either the control rod is detached (fixed) or the level sensor is defective.
Concluding operations
Reassemble footwell on right-hand side of vehicle.
Reconnect battery.
Carry out function check.
