How to Adjust the Headlights of the Outlander?
2 Answers
Mitsubishi Outlander vehicle lights are primarily adjusted according to the actual driving needs by selecting the corresponding gear. The method to adjust the Outlander headlights is as follows: 1. Enter the driver's cabin to locate the vehicle light control lever. 2. The default "OFF" gear is for turning off the vehicle lights. 3. The middle gear is for the position lights (parking lights). 4. Rotating the left knob to the upper gear activates the low beam headlights. 5. The middle knob serves as the control switch for the fog lights. 6. Pushing the light lever upwards activates the right turn signal, while pushing it downwards activates the left turn signal. 7. Pushing the light lever forward keeps the high beam headlights on continuously, and pulling it backward activates the high beam headlights for a single flash.
Last time I adjusted the Outlander's headlights myself and found it very practical. Usually, the headlight height adjustment for the Outlander is done under the hood. Park on a flat surface, open the hood, and look for a small screw or knob near the headlights—there are adjustment points for height and left-right alignment. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently turn it, which will raise or lower the beam. By the way, before adjusting, it’s best to mark a reference on a wall—for example, at 5 meters away, ensure the center of the beam doesn’t exceed a certain height to avoid blinding oncoming drivers at night. Take your time with this process—make small adjustments, turning the screw slightly each time, then turn on the lights to check the effect. I recommend checking this once a year, as bumps over time can misalign the lights, affecting safety. Also, some newer Outlander models may have automatic adjustment, but manual control is more reliable for ensuring even lighting. The whole process takes no more than 10 minutes—pretty convenient.
