How to adjust the headlight height of the Mazda3 Axela?
2 Answers
Steps to adjust the headlight height of the Mazda3 Axela: The headlight height adjustment knob is located on the plastic panel in front of the driver's left leg, marked with a light symbol. Simply rotate the knob up or down to adjust the headlight height. Note that there are four adjustment levels, with level 0 being the lowest and level 3 the highest. Manual headlight height adjustment can generally be done in two ways: using the headlight adjustment knob or using a screwdriver. The Mazda3 Axela is a compact sedan launched by Mazda, with dimensions of 4582mm in length, 1795mm in width, 1458mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I drive my Mazda3 quite often, and adjusting the headlight height is something I encounter regularly. For example, when driving at night, if the lights seem too bright and glaring or don't illuminate far enough, it's likely time for an adjustment. The control is located on the left side of the driver's seat, near the door under the steering wheel—there's a round dial usually marked with arrows or numbers. Turning it adjusts the light height. Make sure the car is running with the lights on when you adjust, or it won't work. I often lower the lights a bit on wet roads to reduce glare and improve safety. If you can't find the dial, check the user manual or the storage compartment near the seat—there might be an illustration. Avoid turning it too frequently to prevent wear and jamming. Adjusting the height is really about road safety—preventing glare-related accidents—and it's simple enough to do yourself, so no need to constantly visit the repair shop.
