It's for when you load your boot with a few too many bodies and your lights are pointing skywards.
My Vectra with HID had a little pot on the rear suspension and when you first turned the lights on they would go through an initialisation sequence where they went all the way to the bottom then came back up again to the correct level. Whether this was necessary or just done cos it looked cool, I don't know. My Alhambra with HID doesn't do it so visibly, and I haven't been underneath it to see how it knows whether it is level - but most likely the same idea. I'll have to check how the Bentleys at work do it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matthew Sent: 13 January 2009 16:09 To: [email protected] Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: HID headlight kit > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Walker > w.r.t HID lamps, all the cars I've had with HID lamps have > also had auto-levelling, which I assume is a requirement to > stop Joe-public from setting them too high. Now there is a good idea - I asked 3 or 4 people I know what a certain dial on the dash board was (the headlight level dial) and they had no idea what it was for or when to use it!
