How to Adjust the Headlight Height of the Outlander?
2 Answers
Outlander headlight height adjustment method: There is a manual adjustment knob inside the car that allows you to freely adjust the height of the headlights; behind the car headlights, there are two threaded holes where you can use a cross screwdriver to adjust—one for height and one for distance. As one of the few models in the SUV market that offers a 7-seat version, the Mitsubishi Outlander stands out with its distinctive features. In terms of body dimensions, the Outlander measures 4705mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. Exterior-wise, the Outlander's front end appears robust, with an inverted triangular protrusion on the engine hood extending down to the top of the bumper. The front air intake is split into two sections, and the slightly protruding design of the lower body gives it a full and substantial look.
I've been driving for over a decade and often adjust my vehicle's headlights myself. The Mitsubishi Outlander's headlight height adjustment is mainly done inside the cabin - there's a small rotary knob near the steering wheel or instrument panel with a light icon or numbered scale. Turning it clockwise makes the lights brighter and higher, while counterclockwise lowers and dims them. When adjusting, I first park in a dark area, turn on the lights to illuminate a wall or the ground, then observe if the beam position is appropriate - too high may dazzle oncoming drivers and cause accidents, too low makes it hard to see road hazards. Generally, setting the lights to cover about 30 meters ahead is safest. If the knob fails, it might be due to bulb motor aging or loose wiring, requiring regular cleaning and maintenance. Improper headlight height isn't just about visibility - it affects nighttime driving safety. I recommend checking it during annual maintenance to ensure safe travels, especially when driving long distances on rural roads.
