Headlight adjustment foe Europe

My 2015 autobiography.

Is this done from a menu or manually under the bonnet?

TIA

I am not 100% sure, but I think the menu setting is for the auto high beam.....so it knows which way to "look" for oncoming lights.

But my adaptive lights dip when the street scene gets brighter. By that I mean mainly street lights and not necessarily oncoming traffic.

It's a puzzle.

Edit: Just found this in the manual

The hand of traffic can also be selected within the instrument panel menu. As default, this is set to be opposite the hand of drive. If the vehicle is Left Hand Drive (LHD), the hand of traffic is Right Hand Drive (RHD).

I had to read that a couple of times!

I know this is the wrong section, but does anyone know how to adjust L322 lights for Europe?

I would argue that the info is incorrect, as the 405 has a kick up to the left for use on UK roads. This surely has to be illegal for use in euroland no?

Not always Stan…. On one of mine as you said, but on the next one they had “improved” the system. A little lever in the same place, but on a spring. So it always returns to the same position. Had I pressed it far enough? had I not? NO WAY of telling which way which headlight was pointing… other than shining them on a blank wall at night. Upset a lot of frenchies when I got it wrong to start with.

Anyway all changed again & now from menus. Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

Is that sorted by the "hand of traffic" option though?
