The method for adjusting the headlight height of the Golf is: 1. Find the vehicle information in the central control screen, select the lighting option in the settings, and choose a number from 1 to 6, where a higher number indicates a lower height; 2. Open the engine hood, locate the white plastic knob near the headlight, and use a hex wrench to adjust the headlight height. The Volkswagen Golf is a classic hatchback and compact family car introduced by FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4199mm, 1786mm, 1479mm, a wheelbase of 2578mm, a minimum ground clearance of 115mm, and equipped with an EA211 engine.
When I first drove a Volkswagen Golf, I was quite curious about how to adjust the headlight height. It's actually the knob on the lower left side of the steering wheel, with numbers from 0 to 6. Turning it changes the beam position. 0 is the lowest setting, suitable for full load or mountain driving; 6 is the highest, for unloaded flat roads. I recommend parking the car on level ground first, starting the engine but not turning on the lights, then slowly adjusting to a height that suits your seating position, ensuring the beam illuminates about 20 meters ahead without dazzling other drivers. Once adjusted, secure it to avoid frequent changes that could affect lifespan. The Golf's headlight system is quite user-friendly, and regular checks can extend bulb life, especially for safer nighttime driving. In short, beginners should try the default settings first and then fine-tune, avoiding adjustments while driving. Remember, improper headlight height can lead to accidents—for example, setting it too high may blind oncoming drivers and cause hazards.
