Correct answer
- BSí, para que los faros no deslumbren a los otros vehículos.Yes, so that the headlights do not dazzle other vehicles.
Explanation
If we are carrying a lot of luggage in the vehicle, especially at the back, the beam of the dipped headlights will point higher than normal. So we must adjust the height of the headlights to suit the load we are carrying.
