Tesla Model S: Headlight - Adjust - Europe
Europe (ECE)
- Position the vehicle for adjusting the headlights:
- The vehicle is in a darkened area.
- The vehicle is on a level surface.
- The vehicle is perpendicular to a wall that has a white
matte surface. The wall must be at least 1.8m (6 ft) high
and 3.7 m (12 ft) wide.
- The headlights are 10 m (32.8 ft) away from the wall.
- Ensure that all 4 tires are inflated to their recomended
settings. Refer to General Information > Technical Data > Tire
pressures.
- If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, set the
suspension height to standard.
- Ensure that the vehicle is level by rocking it from side to
side.
- Remove the LH and RH underhood aprons (refer to procedure).
Note: The remainder of this procedure must be performed
with someone in the driver seat who weighs at least 75 kg (166 lbs).
- Note the height between the ground and the center projecter lens
on the driver side headlight.
- Mark a straight line between each of the center projector lenses
and the wall. At the point where each line meets the wall, mark the
height that was noted in the previous step.
- Turn on the low beam headlights.
Note: For LHD vehicles, the left half the beam is
flat, and the right half of the beam angles upward. For RHD
vehicles, the right half of the beam is flat, and the left
half of the beam angles upward.
- Cover the RH headlight; ensure that all light from the RH
headlight is blocked.
- Locate the 2 adjusters on the LH headlight.
- Adjust the headlight horizontally so that the top of the flat
part of the beam is 100 mm below the height that was noted in step
6.
- Adjust the headlight vertically so that the beam begins to angle
upward at the line that was marked in step 7.
- Repeat steps 9-12 to adjust the RH headlight.
