Make sur ethat the exterior mirrors are
always folded out fully while the vehicle is
in motion as they ma yotherwis evibrate.
Resetting the exterior mirrors If the battery has been disconnected or com-
pletely discharged, the exterior mirrors must
be reset. The exterior mirrors will otherwise
not fold in when you select the "Fold in mir-
rors when locking" func tion in the on-board
computer (Y page 209).
X Make sure that the key is in position 1in
the ignition lock.
X Briefl ypres sbutton :.
Folding the exterior mirrors in or out
automatically If the "Fold in mirrors when locking" function
is activated in the on-board computer
(Y page 209):
R the exterior mirrors fold in automatically as
soo nasyou lock the vehicle from the out-
side.
R the exterior mirror sfold out again automat-
ically as soon as you unloc kthe vehicle and
then open the driver's or front-passenger
door.
i The mirrors do not fol dout if they have
been folded in manually.
Exterior mirror out of position If an exterior mirror has been pushed out of
position, proceed as follows:
X Vehicles without electrically folding
exterior mirrors: move the exterior mirror
into the correct position manually.
X Vehicles with electrically folding exte-
rior mirrors: press the mirror-folding but-
ton (Y page 101 )repeatedly until you hear

Risk of accident
If the incident ligh tfrom headl ampscannot
strike the senso rinthe rear-vie wmirror ,for
instance, when the rea rwindow roller sun-
blind is extended, the mirror' sautomatic anti-
dazzle function will not operate.
Incident light could then blind you. This may
distract you from the traffic conditions and,
as aresult, you may cause an accident. In this
case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually.
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver' sside automatically go into anti-
dazzle mode if the ignition is switched on and
incident light from headlamps strikes the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-daz zlem ode if
reverse gear is engaged or the interior lighting
is switched on. Parking position for th

tion. 102

rlighting Important safet
ynotes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Ben zrecom-
mends that you driv ewith the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirement sand self-imposed obli-
gations. In these countries, the daytime driv-
ing lights are automatically switche donwhen
the engin eisstarted. Notes on driving abroad
Converting to symmetrical dipped beam
when drivin gabroad: switch the headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam in countries in
which traffic drives on the opposite side of the
road to the countr ywhere the vehicle is reg-
istered. This prevents oncomi ngtraffic from
being dazzled .Symmetrical lights do not illu-
minate as large an area of the edg eofthe
carriageway.
Convert the headlamps as close to the border
as possible before drivin ginthese countries
(Y page 206).
Converting to asymmetrica ldipped beam
after retu rning: conver tthe headlamps back
to asymmetrical dipped beam as soon as pos-
sible after crossing the border when returning
(Y page 206).
Vehicle swith Intelligent Light System: if
the headlamps are converted to symmetrical
dipped beam, not all light functions are avail- able. "Motorway mode" and the "extended
range foglamps" are deactivated. Light switch
