Headlamp Adjustment: Left / Right Hand Drive

Hi,

Does anybody know how headlamps can be adjusted for driving on the continent? I thought they could be adjusted through the Vehicle Set Up Menu but I don't seem to be able to find it and I can't find anything in the manual either Sad


Thanks

IIRC there is no adjustment these days, the headlights and dip beam pattern are a compromise to allow temporary use overseas, its only if you take the car permanently over that you would need to buy new headlights. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

As above, no adjustment required from at least MY12 onwards (possibly earlier too) due to "flat beam pattern" as per the handbook. However, you would have Auto High Beam Assist (as your signature says Autobiography) and that does need changing. It is in the "Driving Features" menu and you can choose from "Drive on the right" and "Drive on the left". Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Thanks fkarim, that is probably what I came across previously and thought it was to adjust the headlights rather than the Auto High Beam Assist. Which I am fine with as dips way too late when on Auto in my car so is always switched off.
