Hi,

New van with relatively little night time driving so far. Love the LED front lights, but can’t see how to adjust the levelling? Do they do it automatically, it’s the option hidden in a menu, or not needed?

Thanks, Terry
 
As @yossarian says,there.should be no adjustment necessary. Check that they auto adjust when you switch them on. If not there is a fault with the leveling system which needs technician attention.
All of that is only true if you have OEM LEDs not some aftermarket fitment.
 
The auto levelling is controlled via a system attached to the the rear suspension (driver side,) you can see the sensor by looking under the vehicle, just in front of the rear wheel, You will see a rubber flap pointing downwards and toward the back of the van, this protects the sensor.

see photo of the sensor assembly

edit, failing to disconnect this sensor when dropping the rear suspension will break the sensor arm clean off resulting in no levelling !

Ouch! Sounds like a frustrating experience!
