External lighting control Opel Astra II G (Classic) 1998 - 2009

Notes:

Never drive only with the parking lights on - risk of accident! Opel Astra G side lights are not bright enough to sufficiently illuminate the road in front of the car, and so that other road users notice you. Therefore, in the dark and in poor visibility, always turn on the low beam.

When the car is parked for a long time, it is recommended to turn off the side lights.

Electro-corrector headlights Opel Astra G

Designed to remotely change the inclination of the headlight beams in the vertical plane at different vehicle loads.

To properly illuminate the road and prevent dazzling of the drivers of other vehicles, you should align the mark on the control wheel of the electric corrector with the corresponding marks (numbers) on the unit for different loading options:

• 0 - one driver or driver with a passenger in the front seat;
• 1 - a driver with four passengers;
• 2 - one driver and cargo in the luggage compartment;
• 3 - a driver with four passengers and cargo in the luggage compartment.   

Warning:

Always install the headlight corrector in the appropriate position, as blinding the driver of an oncoming vehicle can have the most serious consequences.
