The headlight height adjustment for the Hongqi HS5 is located under the steering wheel inside the vehicle. Here are the relevant details: Product Features: The new Hongqi HS5 boasts numerous highlights, succinctly summarized as mH5, where 'm' stands for multitude, 'H' for highlights, and the 5th power represents five major characteristics: core aspects include ultimate luxury, ultimate elegance, ultimate comfort, ultimate intelligence, and ultimate safety. Safety Performance: The Hongqi HS5 is equipped with an active braking system that can detect the distance between the vehicle and the car (or pedestrian) ahead in real-time. When it predicts an imminent collision, the vehicle will automatically apply the brakes to avoid or mitigate collision damage.

I've been driving the Hongqi HS5 for almost two years, and the headlight height adjustment knob is located near the left knee area of the driver's seat. Just look down and you'll see a numbered rotary knob marked with positions 0 to 3 at the far left of the dashboard. Position 0 sets the beams at their highest point, suitable for unloaded conditions. Higher numbered positions progressively lower the beam angle – for instance, setting it to 3 when fully loaded prevents dazzling oncoming traffic. The most intuitive way to adjust is at night against a wall, where you can clearly observe the light beam moving up or down as you rotate the knob. While this vehicle features automatic headlight leveling, manual adjustment proves useful for specific situations like when the rear suspension sags from a fully loaded trunk.

When I first got the car, I also spent quite some time searching for it. Later, I discovered the adjustment knob is hidden on the control panel below the lower left side of the steering wheel. The knob has a raised headlight icon on its surface, and turning it clockwise gradually lowers the beam. The key point is the actual effect: at position 0, the beam reaches the farthest but can be glaring, while position 3 provides a closer beam but is safer in rainy or foggy conditions. If the car is fully loaded, it's recommended to adjust it to position 2. I unexpectedly found that slightly lowering the beam at night on the highway actually helps to see more road reflectors. Once during a heavy rainstorm, this helped me avoid a fallen tree branch.

It's located on the black panel above your left leg in the cockpit, with an icon of headlights and up/down arrows. I noticed a detail when helping a friend adjust it: the 2019 model had a mechanical knob, while the 2023 version uses a touch panel. The operation logic remains unchanged with 4 adjustable levels. Practical tests show level 1 is most reasonable when unloaded - ensuring illumination distance without causing glare in the front vehicle's mirrors. For frequent mountain driving, adjust the height when switching to high beams to prevent light beams from scanning into bushes during turns, which could affect judgment.
