Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
6.10.1.1. Headlight Aiming Control (where fitted)
Manual control
The headlight aiming control operates when the power switch is in the ON/READY position and the headlight is on to allow the headlight axis to be adjusted according to the driving condition.
When driving with no heavy load/luggage or driving on a flat road, select the normal position 0.
If the number of occupants and load/luggage in the vehicle changes, the headlight axis may become higher than normal. If the vehicle is travelling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly shine on the rearview and outside mirrors of a vehicle ahead or the windscreen of an oncoming vehicle, which may obscure other drivers’ vision.
To adjust to the proper aiming height, turn the switch accordingly. The higher the number, designated on the switch, the lower the headlight axis.
Select the switch position by referring to the following samples.
Switch position | Number of front seat occupants | Number of rear seat occupants | Weight of load in luggage compartment |
0 | 1 or 2 | No occupants | No load |
1 | 2 | 3 | No load |
1 | 2 | 3 | Approximately 40 kg (88 lb) |
2 | 1 | No occupants | Approximately 280 kg (617 lb) |
