It means your auto headlamp levelling isnt working...so your lights are pointing lower than normal to avoid dazzing other drivers.


1st thing to check is the little sensors on front and rear wishbones / trailing arm (passenger side)  often the arm has popped off, and just needs putting back in.

only if you have your lights on!

it ONLY affects headlight levelling, so if your driving in the dark like this, your lights wont illuminate so far.
