METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CORRECTING THE POSITION OF THE HEADLIGHTS OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

The invention relates to a method for correcting the inclination of the headlights of a motor vehicle based on acceleration measurements of the vehicle provided by a sensor carried by the motor vehicle. According to the invention, the method comprises a step (S 30) of calculating the variation in inclination of the vehicle between a first and a second distinct instants defining a duration during which said motor vehicle comes to a single stop followed by a restart, as a function of the acceleration measurements, and a step (S 50, S 60) of controlling the inclination of the headlights as a function of the calculated variation in inclination of the vehicle.
