    2018 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Indus Silver

    Driving in france/europe

    I'm off to france soon. Do you need headlight beam deflectors? I've found a setting for left and right side but it looks as though it's for AHBA.

    Cheers

    On mine I dont but think it depends on what you have fitted, read the manual there is a section in there on it

    I have never used any and travel for 7 weeks a year in France, I just change the speedo to km and the setting that you have found.

    That setting (left and right driving option) is also for the automated cruise control, mine was delivered with the English settings and was behaving very strangely, until I changed it and now it’s correct. So I suppose it changes the lights accordingly and no deflectors needed.

    Changing only the speedo will not work as in some countries they drive left (Southern Africa), but distances are in km

    This is what the manual says for adjusting lights - which is nothing at all.

    As rsr said it is for AHBA and by the sound of it for auto cruise control.

    All works well including Speed Limit recognition.

    I've been told that my new D5 has 'Flat' beams so no adjustment needed abroad. I can definitely see a left bias when using dipped beams so would have thought that was what needed changing when driving abroad !!

    But the left bias is low enough to not require tape or n head lights
    Just come back from France and didn’t get flashed once

    An not sure if this helps, but you can set the lights for driving on the left or right hand side via the car settings, which I assume will change the bias.
    Not sure if you would still need the light beam deflectors/convertors though after changing the settings?

    I was fiddling with the settings last week and again tonight, when I came across it, when I was looking to see if the AEB was activated.

    Maybe the function is only available on the Hse or Lux models?

    Will post up a pic once I get back home from work of the display settings Thumbs Up

    We made it across with no issues, I read the bit in the manual about the flat beam and not needing to fit deflectors. I just changed to KM and all was ok, we drove for a good few hours in the dark with no flashes either.

    EMcC /Russell apologies for the late photo's. This is what I was on about. Possibly an extra feature on the digital dash v analogue dash or model dependant ?
