How to adjust the low beam headlights on the Lamando?

[MacLena]

The control switch for the Lamando's low beam headlights is located on the left lever below the steering wheel. Simply pull the lever toward the driver to activate them. When the low beams are on, you can switch between low and high beams by pushing the turn signal lever forward or backward. The low beam headlights have a range of approximately 30-40 meters. More details are as follows: 1. Experiments show that when driving at 55 km/h at night, the braking distance upon spotting an obstacle is exactly 30 meters. This means that if you stop immediately upon seeing something within the low beam's range, there will be no gap between the car and the object. This assumes good vehicle condition, road conditions, and driver reaction time. If the speed is higher, or if the vehicle or road conditions are poor, or the driver is fatigued with slower reactions, the outcome can be imagined. 2. Therefore, it's crucial to control your speed when driving at night. On flat, wide roads with good visibility, you can use high beams and drive slightly faster. However, when encountering oncoming traffic, uneven roads, turns, bridges, narrow roads, or intersections, you should slow down, generally keeping the speed below 40 km/h.

Last time I drove my buddy's Lamando, the low beams were set too low, making it hard to see the road at night, so I adjusted them myself. I popped open the hood, found the white adjustment knob behind the headlight, and slowly turned it with a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure the car is parked on level ground—it's best to adjust at night against a wall, aiming for the light beam to hit about 70 cm above the ground. Don’t crank it too high, or you’ll blind oncoming drivers like high beams. After adjusting, I took it for a spin and noticed the illumination range improved by over 30 meters, making highway driving much safer. If you can’t figure it out, just head to the 4S shop—the mechanics can fine-tune it in minutes with professional tools, usually for free on such minor fixes. Headlight height is crucial for safety, especially in rain when light scatter worsens. I check mine every six months.

Driving at night is most troublesome with improper lighting. My Lamando's low beams used to shine too close. Adjusting them is actually quite simple. There's a numbered wheel at the lower left of the steering wheel, with 0123 gears corresponding to different heights. Use gear 1 when there are passengers in the front seats, and gear 3 when fully loaded. If the electric adjustment isn't enough, open the engine compartment and find the white knob behind the headlight to adjust the height. Make sure to choose a level road and gently turn the knob half a turn with a wrench to test. Don't rush the first adjustment—even a slight angle change can make a big difference in the lighting. After adjusting, be sure to test drive to see if the road illumination is even. If the lights are uneven left and right, it means the two lights need separate adjustments. Doing this yourself saves money, but if you're unsure, just go to a repair shop—the mechanics are experts at this.

The adjustment of the Lamando's low beam headlights can be done in two ways: electrically or manually. For electric adjustment, there is a rotary switch with gear markings located below the left side of the driver's seat. Manual adjustment offers more precision: open the engine hood, locate the vertical adjustment bolt at the back of the headlight assembly, and rotate it using a hex key. It is recommended to perform this operation at night facing a wall 5 meters away, adjusting the low beam cutoff line to a height below the center point of the headlight. Note that the driver's side light can be slightly lower to avoid glare, with a difference of no more than 15 cm between the two sides. It's especially important to readjust after replacing a new bulb—last time I didn't adjust it after replacement, and the light ended up shining directly onto a tree. Regular headlight adjustment is crucial, particularly after any undercarriage impact, otherwise, it might fail the annual inspection.

Last time I noticed the low beams on my Lamando were shining too close. My best friend taught me a trick: draw a horizontal line on the garage wall, about three meters from the front of the car. Sit in the driver's seat, turn on the low beams, and check if the lower edge of the light spot is below the marked line. If it's not high enough, turn the adjustment wheel next to the steering wheel—turning it upwards decreases the number. If that's not sufficient, you'll need to open the hood and adjust manually. There are two knobs at the back of the headlight housing: the vertical one adjusts height, and the horizontal one adjusts left-right alignment. A short-handle screwdriver makes it easier to operate. If it's too much hassle, just drive to a quick repair shop—last time I spent 50 yuan and got it done in ten minutes. After adjustment, nighttime driving became noticeably safer, especially in rainy or foggy conditions when the road wouldn't just look like a white blur.

Improper headlight adjustment poses a safety hazard. When I first bought my Lamando, oncoming vehicles kept flashing their high beams at me. Later I discovered the headlight height can be manually adjusted: there's a rotary knob in the cabin with numbered positions - lower numbers mean higher beams. Set it to position 1 when unloaded, and position 3 with a full trunk. For more precise adjustment, open the hood and locate the adjustment bolt on the headlight assembly - find the white knob with up/down arrows, turning clockwise raises the beam. The key is to park on level ground and adjust at night against a wall, aligning the light cutoff at about 70cm height. Remember to adjust both lights simultaneously, otherwise the illumination pattern will be uneven. It's recommended to check the beam angle every 5,000 km as tire wear can affect the lighting height.
