Hi,

I like to know how to adjust auto headlight sensitive.

Thanks

It's a dealer-only adjustment, AFAIK.

Thanks for input anyway.
May be there is something in workshop manual.

AFAIK, the dealership makes the tweak. It's an electronic sensor, so there's no rotary dial to adjust it if that's what you're wondering. Take it to the dealer and request an adjustment to that particular sensor.

The auto-adjust headlights on an 09 MS3 is just a dial that you set according to the number of people in the car... It's in the manual. If you have some tubbies in the back you put it on 4 and it angles the headlights down a bit more since the tubbies jack up the front by being in the rear.

My question is auto on sensitive of headlight when driving in the dark or bright area (day/night), not auto level as you said.

It's not for the # of people in the car.

It's just a preset adjustment based on seating arrangements in the car. For example, they recommend using setting 1 for either 1 or 2 extra passengers I believe, even 4. But if you have stuff in the trunk, you're supposed to use 2. I haven't touched my dial ever.

I dont think that's adjustable. its a sensor that detects the amount of light, so its not something you can just adjust.

Owner Manual says it can be changed by Authorized Mazda Dealer.
