General 595 Amarth xenon headlight adjustment

[Paul Musgrave]

Hi everyone Thank you for the add
I have just bought a 595 abarth Comp and noticed the xenon lights are beamed very low.
I know there is an adjustment threaded screw on the rear cluster but …..I found a picture of the headlight beam on the dashboard next to the Menu button and plus and minus button
I have tried everything to get the beam pattern to go up on these buttons but nothing moves
Is there anyone who knows how to operate these buttons and I have googled it but no info on it at all
Many thanks
Paul

Hello,

Have you checked the owners' manual?

It could be available in the download section of the forum, on the aftersales.fiat.com / app if you have access.

The + and - on your dash won't work on factory Xenon. They are supposed to auto adjust (you can see them sweeping up and down on starting), but the initial adjustment should be done manually on the back of the clusters. To get them right I advise to have them done in a garage.

Bit of a thread hi-jack - does anyone have a picture of how their front level sensor is mounted?
My headlights are pointing really low as well and I'm almost certain that its because the sensor is mounted incorrectly (MES gives the sensor a voltage of 0.5V, should be 2 - 3V).
A bit of bench testing with an old sensor suggests the arm should be roughly 90 degrees to the body but mine is straight up.
Thanks
Chris

the sensors are on the front passenger wishbone and in the centre of the rear axle. (UK cars) They both should normally be at 90 degrees as you say to allow for up and down motion of the suspension.
