AUTOMATIC LEVELING DEVICE FOR HEAD LAMP, AND OPTICAL AXIS MOVABLE MEANS OPERATION CONFIRMATION METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily recognize completion of initialization of an automatic leveling device. SOLUTION: In the automatic leveling device, a pitch angle of a vehicle is determined from a vehicle height value at front and rear sides of the vehicle detected by a vehicle height detection device and an optical axis of a headlamp 30 is inclined in a vertical direction based on the pitch angle. Completion of initialization of the detection value of the vehicle height detection device is informed by vertically moving the optical axis of the headlamp 30. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
