How to Adjust the Headlight Height of the New Teana?
3 Answers
The new Teana does not have a headlight height adjustment button. To adjust the headlight height, you need to manually adjust it from the front headlight position. Open the engine compartment, and you will find two plastic screws at the back of the headlights that can be adjusted for height. By turning these screws, you can adjust the headlight height to the desired position. The specific steps for adjusting the headlights are as follows: 1. Generally, headlight adjustment involves adjusting the height. The adjustment is done via the horizontal adjustment screws located at the back of the headlights in the engine compartment. 2. Tools you will need: a tape measure, masking tape, a Phillips screwdriver, and a hex socket. 3. Headlight height adjustment should not be done arbitrarily. Find a flat area with a vertical white wall—such as an underground parking lot. Face the white wall, drive the car slowly straight toward it, and stop when the front of the car is as close to the wall as possible. Mark a vertical line on the wall corresponding to the centerline of the car's front. 4. Open the hood and look at the back of the headlights. Pay attention to the height and adjust it to the appropriate position.
Hey, adjusting the headlight height on the new Teana is actually quite simple, and I often do it myself while driving. Generally speaking, you need to sit in the driver's seat and look near the left side of the steering wheel. There should be a knob or a small wheel, possibly marked with a headlight icon. Turning it will adjust the height of the lights. Some models require adjustments through the settings menu on the central console. It's best to park on a flat surface and adjust during the day with the headlights off to clearly see the projection effect. If the lights are too low, you won’t see far enough, and if they’re too high, they’ll blind oncoming drivers, which is unsafe. I’ve tried it several times myself, especially before driving into the garage—adjusting them helps with parking more accurately. If you can’t find the knob or can’t adjust them properly, don’t force it. Go to a 4S shop to check—it might be a wiring issue. Remember, headlight height is crucial for driving safety, so regular checks and adjustments are necessary.
I believe adjusting the headlight height is primarily about safety, and I pay close attention to this when driving myself. In the new Teana, the adjustment button is usually located on the panel on the driver's side, either a manual knob or an electric button. Before operating, ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground. Gently turning it can adjust the headlight's range—too low increases the risk of nighttime accidents, while too high can affect other road users. I recommend taking a test drive at night after adjustment to check if the light evenly covers the road without shining too high. If the light flickers or the adjustment fails, it might be due to motor failure or poor contact, requiring inspection. During routine maintenance, don't forget to regularly clean the headlight surface, as dirt can also affect the height effect. Safety first—if you're not familiar with it, seek a professional technician to help calibrate, which can prevent accidents. I've made it a habit to check before every long trip, making driving more reassuring.
