Automatic Range Adjustment (Bi-Xenon)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There are two motors, one on each headlamp, which angle the headlamps upwards or downwards to control the range of the beam. The motors are on the rear of the headlamps.
The motors are controlled by signals from a position sensor at the rear axle. The sensor detects the angle of the car under different load conditions and sends this information via the rear electronic module (REM) so that the central electronic module (CEM) can determine whether the lamps need to be raised or lowered.
There are diagnostics for the headlamp range adjustment.
