Instrument cluster backlight brightness control

The backlight brightness regulator is mounted in the car's instrument panel near the speedometer assembly (see accompanying illustration). The required panel backlight intensity is achieved by rotating the regulator knob.

Regulator for adjusting the direction of the optical axes of the headlights of the car

The regulator provides the ability to adjust the direction of the optical axes of the headlights in the low beam mode and achieve the best road lighting conditions with different vehicle loads. 2Adjustment is made depending on the number of passengers, the presence and weight of cargo in the luggage compartment. The regulator should be moved to a position corresponding to (or as close as possible to) the actual vehicle load:

• a) Position "O" - one driver or driver and passenger in the front seat;
• b) Position "1" - driver and four passengers in the front and rear seats;
• c) Position "2" - driver, four passengers in the front and rear seats, plus cargo in the luggage compartment (the gross vehicle weight is within the permissible range);
• d) Position "3" - one driver and cargo in the luggage compartment (the loads on the front and rear axles of the vehicle are within the permissible limits, the gross vehicle weight does not exceed the maximum permissible value).

Note: On R-class modifications, the adjustment of the optical axes of the headlights is carried out automatically in low beam mode.

Adjustable steering column locking lever

Note: See information regarding the correct and safe position of the steering column (Section Elements of vehicle safety systems). The position of the steering column on cars with the corresponding configuration can be adjusted at the driver's discretion. Adjustment is made before starting to move.

Warning! Adjusting the steering column position while driving may result in loss of control of the vehicle and may lead to serious traffic accidents!

To adjust the height of the steering column, you must:

• a) Lower the steering column lock lever located on the left under the steering wheel until it stops;
• b) The steering wheel height is adjusted by moving it to the required position in the vertical plane. A properly adjusted steering wheel should not obstruct the view of the instrument panel;
• c) After completing the adjustment, lock the steering column by fully raising the lock lever to its original position;
• d) Check that the column is securely fixed by trying to move it up and down.
