Driving F15 X5 abroad (France)

Post by George D » Mon Jun 16, 2014 8:08 pm

If anyone can help guide me I would be very grateful...

Based in the UK and looking to take my new F15 X5 driving in France - I'll have the Xenon's not the LEDs. Reading the other forums it seems that there are 2 possible options for adjusting the headlights...

1. There is a lever in the headlamp assembly that can be adjusted for the headlamps while abroad - But does that only apply to the two previous generations?
2. The headlamps are facing straight ahead, so it does not need adjustment - But is that only for the LEDs?

I've tried to download the X5 owners manual to confirm, but does not seem to be available, so I'm seeing if any of you kind souls can help me out.

There is a hidden menu accessed from the dash buttons think you can change them in there as well

I've not read through to find the answer to your question but the owners manual for the US version is available here:

Hope this helps,

Nope. There were no answers in there. I guess it was unlikely as it's an American focused manual

I thought that if you leave them in auto mode they adjust automatically ? IIRC my facelift E70 xenons were the same?

It's easy:

Settings-Lights-Headlights-Enable Headlight adaption

Done!
