Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is switched on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering, the position of some of the controls
differs from that shown in » Fig. 25 on page 47. The symbols which mark the po-
sitions of the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 191 , Headlight lenses .
WARNING■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
WARNING (Continued)■ The automatic driving lamp control  only operates as a support and does
not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the given light conditions. The light
sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we
recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other
oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note
■ The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has noinfluence on the life of the lighting system.■
If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.

Automatic driving light control during rain
The daytime running lights are switched on automatically if the following condi-
tions are met:
The light switch is in the position  » Fig. 27 .
Automatic wiping during rain or wiping in position 2 or 3 ( » page 57) Is
switched on for more than 15 seconds.
The light is turned off if wiping is not switched on for longer than about 4 mi- nutes.
CAUTION
Do not stick any stickers or similar objects in front of the light sensor on the windscreen, so as not to cancel the function of automatic driving light control or
to impair its effectiveness.
Adaptive headlights (AFS)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 47.
The AFS system makes sure the street remains lit up depending on the traffic and weather situation.
The system automatically adjusts the cone of light in front of the vehicle to the driving speed or the use of the wiper.
The AFS system works in tandem with automatic driving lamp control 
, there-
fore please also read the following » page 49.
The AFS system can only work if the following condition is met. The light switch is in the position 
.
The AHL system operates in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is
active if none of the following modes are active.
City mode
The light cone in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that this also illuminates the
adjacent side-walks, intersections, pedestrian crossings, etc. The mode is active at speeds of 15-50 km/h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can respond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is active at speeds
above 120 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can reduce the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 20 – 70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers con-tinuously operate for a period of time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is deacti-
vated when the windscreen wipers are switched off for longer than 8 minutes.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds greater than
10 km.h and in all AFS modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of the
headlights is deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the Maxi DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 29 menu option.WARNINGIf the AFS system is defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to the
emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully and visit aspecialist garage as soon as possible.
Note
When the “Tourist light” mode is active, the warning icon 
flashes for about 10
seconds each time the ignition is switched on.

The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met: The cooling system is switched on.The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower is switched on.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in
the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during the
cold season of the year.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling ef- fect » page 93 .
WARNING■
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-
dows are free of ice, snow and misting.■
Sensitive individuals may experience colds for the following reasons.
■ Long-term and non-uniform distribution of the air flow from the air outlet
nozzles (especially in the foot area).
■ Large temperature differences, such as when exiting the vehicle.
■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out
of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
■
The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting up.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or leaves
to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air con-
ditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to en-
sure that the engine cools down.
Note
■ The exhaust air streams out through vents at the rear of the luggage compart-
ment.■
We recommend that you have Climatronic cleaned by a specialist garage once
every year.
