How to adjust the height of the T-Roc's high beam?
3 Answers
There is a manual adjustment knob inside the car. Rotating the knob allows you to freely adjust the height of the headlights. You can also open the hood and locate the hexagonal screw behind the headlight. Turning it clockwise lowers the headlight height, while turning it counterclockwise raises the headlight height.
I recently adjusted the high beam height of my T-Roc myself. On the panel near the driver's left knee, next to the instrument panel brightness adjustment knob, there's a numbered rotary knob for adjustment—0 is the highest position, and 5 is the lowest. The easiest way is to find an underground garage at night and aim at a wall. Adjust the low beam cutoff line to about 70 cm above the ground, then switch to high beam to check if the focal point is in the right position. Older T-Roc models also have physical adjustment holes under the hood, requiring a hex key to turn the white plastic screw—clockwise raises the beam. However, I recommend not fiddling with the physical screws yourself, as it's easy to misalign the reflector bowl. After adjustment, always test it on the road to avoid blinding oncoming drivers.
Driving a German car means embracing a more mechanical operation logic. The T-Roc offers two types of headlight adjustment: electronic and manual. The electronic adjustment is located in the combination switch area on the left side of the dashboard, with the roller set to position 3 being ideal for urban driving. For manual adjustment, you need to open the engine compartment and locate the white knob with a gear symbol on top of the headlight assembly; turning it counterclockwise raises the beam. Be careful not to adjust too much at once—turning it a quarter turn at a time and testing the effect is more reliable. In rainy weather, remember to check if the lights automatically lower, a feature particularly important on slippery roads. Actually, having a mechanic calibrate it with a level during maintenance is the most precise method, as DIY adjustments can easily result in left-right imbalance.
