How to Adjust the Headlights of Changan Eado?

[StEli]

Changan Eado headlight adjustment method is as follows: There is a headlight height adjustment knob on the left side of the steering wheel in the cabin. The "0" gear is the highest headlight position, the "1" gear lowers the headlight by one level, the "3" gear is the middle height, the "4" gear is relatively lower, and the "5" gear is the lowest headlight position. Owners can adjust it according to their needs. Below is more information about the Changan Eado: 1. The front face of the Changan Eado still adopts a butterfly-wing-style grille, with the interior replaced by a honeycomb-style smoked black design. The visual effect of the new car matches the ultra-high performance of the new engine very well. The sharp headlights on both sides are treated with a smoked black finish, giving a very sporty look. 2. The interior of the new car adopts a family-style design, with the addition of a large number of chrome trim strips enhancing the sense of sophistication. The large central embedded display is equipped with Changan's latest in-Call-3.0 car connectivity system, while the flat-bottom steering wheel paired with the front dual-barrel instrument cluster exudes a sporty atmosphere.

Adjusting the headlights on the Changan Eado is actually quite simple. Sit in the driver's seat and look below the instrument panel on the left side of the steering wheel—there's usually a rotary knob with a light symbol. For older Eado models, you adjust the height by turning this knob with your fingers, while the newer electronic adjustment models are much more convenient—just flip the lever on the left side of the steering wheel up or down. Last time I adjusted it for my sister, I remember that using the low beams and aiming at a wall gives the most accurate results. Stand about 5 meters in front of the car and make sure the centerline of the beam doesn’t exceed the height of the headlights. Setting them too high can blind oncoming drivers, while too low makes it hard to see the road. If you still can’t find the knob, check the lighting system section of the user manual—it includes illustrated instructions.

Here's how I adjusted the headlights of my neighbor's Yidong in the residential area: First, start the car and turn on the low beams, then find a flat wall as a reference. Above the driver's left leg, there's a set of control buttons—the plastic button with a headlight icon that can be pushed up and down is the adjustment knob. For older models, you need to press and turn the knob left or right, while newer models like the PLUS can be adjusted by simply flipping the switch. It's best to do this at night in an underground garage for clarity. When aiming at the wall, the upper edge of the beam should be about 10 cm lower than the center of the headlight. After adjustment, drive a few meters to check the actual illumination range, ensuring the light doesn't hit the sidewalk guardrails. A special reminder: avoid installing HID lights or improperly adjusting the height, as it may fail the annual inspection.

The Yidong headlight adjustment comes in two types: physical knob and electronic toggle. The physical one is located below the left side of the steering wheel, resembling a gear with a bulb icon - simply rotate it to adjust the height. The electronic toggle is near the windshield wiper control lever on the left side of the steering wheel, marked with up and down arrows. Key point! Remember adjustment only works in low beam mode - it's ineffective when high beams are on. Best adjust with normal vehicle load; if frequently carrying full rear passengers, lower the headlight angle to prevent dazzling others. When unsure, adjust against a wall - from driver's position, ensure the beam cutoff line doesn't exceed tire center height for proper alignment.

Direct operation: Locate the dial with up and down arrows (physical version is a rotary knob) in the lighting control area on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Start the vehicle and turn on the low beams while facing a flat wall about 7-8 meters away. Use your phone camera to observe the position of the light cutoff line—the ideal position is at 70% of the headlight height. For older EADO models, you’ll hear a clicking sound when adjusting the rotary knob, while newer electronic versions will rebound after adjustment. I recommend adjusting only one notch at a time and then stepping out to check the effect. Special reminder for owners who have upgraded to aftermarket LED headlights: the factory adjustment lever may not work, in which case you’ll need to open the engine compartment and manually adjust the white hex bolt behind the headlight.

The adjustment methods for the Yidong vary by year. Models before 2015 feature physical knobs located below the leftmost air vent on the dashboard, marked with a bulb icon. Newer models have electronic adjustment buttons on the lower left lever cluster of the steering wheel, symmetrically placed with the instrument brightness adjustment button. When adjusting the lights, note two points: the vehicle must be parked on level ground, and the driver's seat should be occupied to simulate actual vehicle weight. The safest method is to visit a 4S shop for calibration with a specialized headlight adjuster, ensuring the beam angle is precisely set within the national standard range of 0.9%-1.3% horizontal inclination. If adjusting yourself, remember the principle: the upper edge of the low beam must never exceed the installation height of the headlight, otherwise, you risk being reported during night driving.
