3 Answers
Changan CS75's low beam headlights are adjusted via a control lever. Rotate the lever to the low beam position to turn on the low beam headlights, and rotate it to the 'O' position to turn them off. The Changan CS75 is a compact SUV with a body length of 4650mm, width of 1850mm, height of 1715mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of power, the Changan CS75 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 131kW and a peak torque of 265Nm. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and features a 5-door, 5-seat body structure.
When I drove my Changan CS75 before, I adjusted the low beams myself, which was quite simple. Usually, there's a small hole behind the headlight assembly with an adjustment screw inside. You need to park on a flat surface facing a white wall or garage door, about 5 meters away. Turn on the low beams and check the light position—if it's too low, you can't see the road clearly; if it's too high, it dazzles other drivers. Use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the screw—clockwise to raise the beam and counterclockwise to lower it. Adjust gradually and don’t rush. Once done, secure the screw. If you're not confident, a 4S shop technician can do it in minutes and also check the entire lighting system for safety and reliability. Properly adjusted headlights make night driving safer and prevent accidents due to poor lighting. I recommend checking them annually, especially before long trips. I adjust mine regularly, and it significantly improves driving visibility.
I'm someone who enjoys tinkering with cars, and I've personally adjusted the low beam headlights of the Changan CS75 several times. The key is to locate the adjustment knob on the rear cover, usually positioned at the outer hole of the headlight assembly. Prepare a hex wrench or a standard screwdriver, and park the car on a flat surface facing a wall. Keep the front of the car 3 to 5 meters away from the wall, turn on the low beams, and observe the projection's center point—ideally, it should be at the height of the license plate center. Turn the adjustment screw: rotate right to raise the beam and left to lower it, adjusting only the height without touching the angle screw to avoid misalignment. If the light appears blurry, the bulb might be old and need replacement. After stabilizing the light, test drive to ensure no glare issues. This kind of minor task can be done yourself, saving both money and time. However, if you're unsure about the tools or positioning, it's best to seek professional help to ensure accuracy.
