I don't understand why it's needed in cars with self leveling suspension.

Our "Oz spec" 190E and 300TE get right-hand-drive versions of the "Euro" headlights and headlight aim adjusters. The owner's manuals describe how with different passenger and boot (trunk) loads different settings of the adjuster should be used. The manual for the 300TE also states that since the wagon has self-levelling rear suspension that only when the wagon is fully laden with passengers and luggage does the adjuster need to be moved just one position. Leaves you wondering why the aim adjuster was fitted at all in cars with self levelling rear as Sixto suggests.
