Part: Headlight

In this tutorial, you will learn how to adjust the front headlights on a Volkswagen Polo. This is an extremely simple operation; just select the desired setting using the dedicated dial located on the dashboard, on the outer side of the driver's area. The dial has 4 different settings, each to be used based on the vehicle's load. Specifically, position 0 should be used with the front seats occupied and the boot empty, position 1 with all seats occupied, position 2 with all seats occupied and the boot full, and finally position 3 with the boot full and only the driver's seat occupied.
