i have the feature hooked up, but do not have the 'official' instructions.
nobody hop my case here, but my regular setting is on 1. that way if there is no traffic i can raise them.
i live in a very rural area.

the beam pattern [for non-british colonies] looks kind of like this
[L] ____/ [R] ____/ the bend or upward break breaks AWAY from traffic.
rhd is the exact opposite [L] \____ [R] \____
if you used the wrong ones, in the wrong country, you'd blind EVERYONE coming toward you!
talk about road rage

Peter,
I will scan that section of my owner's manual when I get a chance (don't have my own scanner so will have to use one elsewhere). It may be several days.
From memory, the normal setting is "0" with each higher number lowering the beams to cater for load. I prefer to initialy set ours up like you suggest such that "1" is the normal setting. In this way it is possible to select "0" to raise them slightly in rural areas where high beam might be inappropriate due to distant oncoming traffic.
On our RHD cars the lenses are a mirror image of that in your picture. The low beams have a distinct flat cutoff line with a kick-up to the left (to illuminate signs and roadside obstacles) as you mention ie. \___\___
