lights when the boot lid is open. They are not to be used when driving.Automatic light control
When the automatic light control
function is switched on and the
engine is running, the system
switches between daytime running
light and headlights automatically,
depending on the lighting conditions
and information given by the rain
sensor system.
Daytime running light 3 112.
Automatic headlight activation
During poor lighting conditions the
headlights are switched on.
Furthermore the headlights are
switched on if the windscreen wipers
have been activated for several
wipes.
Tunnel detection When a tunnel is entered headlights
are switched on immediately.
Adaptive forward lighting 3 112.
High beam
To switch from low to high beam,
push lever.
To switch to low beam, push lever
again or pull.

110LightingHigh beam assistDescription for version with halogen
headlights. High beam assist with
adaptive forward lighting 3 112.
This feature allows high beam to
function as the main driving light at
night and when vehicle speed is
faster than 25 mph.
It switches to low beam when: ■ a sensor detects the lights of oncoming or preceding vehicles
■ the vehicle speed is slower than 12 mph
■ it is foggy or snowy
■ driving in urban areas
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.Activation
The high beam assist is activated by
pushing the indicator lever twice at a
speed above 25 mph.
The green control indicator l
illuminates continuously when the
assist is activated, the blue one 7
illuminates when high beam is on.
Control indicator l 3 93.
Deactivation
Push indicator lever once. It is also deactivated when front fog lights are
switched on.
If a headlight flash is activated when the high beam is on, the high beam assist will be deactivated.
If a headlight flash is activated when the high beam is off, the high beam
assist will remain activated.
The latest setting of the high beam
assist will remain after the ignition is
switched on again.
Headlight flash To activate the headlight flash, pull
lever.

112Lighting
To deactivate, operate the same
procedure as described above.
Control indicator f will not flash when
function is deactivated.
Daytime running lights
Daytime running lights increase
visibility of the vehicle during daylight.
They are switched on automatically
when ignition is on.
If the vehicle is equipped with
automatic light control function, the
system switches between daytime
running light and low/high beam
automatically, depending on the
lighting conditions and information
given by the rain sensor system.
Automatic light control 3 109.
Adaptive forward lighting
The Adaptive forward lighting
functions are only available with Bi-
Xenon headlights. Light range, light
distribution and intensity of light are
variably triggered depending on the
light conditions, weather and road
type.With the light switch in position
AUTO all lighting functions are
available.
The following functions are available
also with light switch in position 9:
■ Dynamic curve lighting
■ Cornering light
■ Reversing function
■ Dynamic automatic headlight levelling
Playstreet lighting Activated automatically at low speed
up to approx. 20 mph. The light beam
is turned at an angle of 8° to the
roadside.
Town lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 25 and
34 mph and when street lights are
detected by the light sensor. The light
range is reduced by an extended light
distribution.Country lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 34 and
70 mph. The beam of light and the
brightness is different between the left and the right side.
Motorway lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
above approx. 70 mph and minimal
steering movements. It switches on
after a delay or directly when the
vehicle is powerfully accelerated. The
light beam is longer and brighter.
Adverse weather lighting Activated automatically up to a speed
of approx. 43 mph, when the rain
sensor recognises condensation or
the wiper operates continuously. The
range, distribution and light intensity
is regulated variably depending on visibility.

Lighting113
Dynamic curve lighting
The light beam pivots based on
steering wheel angle and speed,
improving lighting in curves.
Control indicator f 3 93.
Corner lighting
On tight bends or when turning off,
depending on the steering angle or
the turn signal light, an additional left
or right reflector is switched on which illuminates the road at a right angle to
the direction of travel. It is activated
up to a speed of 25 mph.
Control indicator f 3 93.
Reversing function If the headlights are on and reverse
gear is engaged, both corner lights
are switched on. They remain
illuminated for 20 seconds after
disengaging reverse gear or until
driving faster than 10 mph in a
forward gear.
High beam assist This feature allows high beam as
main driving light by night and when
vehicle speed is faster than 25 mph.
It switches to low beam when: ■ the camera in the windscreen detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles
■ the vehicle speed is slower than 12 mph
■ it is foggy or snowy
■ driving in urban areas
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.Activation
The high beam assist is activated by
pushing the indicator lever twice with
a speed above 25 mph.
The green control indicator l
illuminates continuously when the
assist is activated, the blue one 7
illuminates when high beam is on.
Control indicator l 3 93.
Deactivation
Push indicator lever once. It is also
deactivated when front fog lights are
switched on.

114Lighting
If a headlight flash is activated when
the high beam is on, the high beam
assist will be deactivated.
If a headlight flash is activated when
the high beam is off, the high beam
assist will stay activated.
High beam assist is always active
after the ignition is switched on.
Intelligent light ranging with automatic high beam activation
Intelligent light ranging uses the
properties of Bi-Xenon headlights to
extend the light range of the low beam by up to 400 metres and additionally
activates automatic high beam
without dazzling or disturbing
oncoming or preceding traffic.
High beam is deactivated and the low
beam light range is reduced to avoid
dazzling when the following
restrictions are detected by the front
camera in the windscreen:
■ a preceding vehicle is recognised,
■ an oncoming vehicle is recognised,
■ urban areas are entered,
■ it is foggy or snowy.If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.
When the system is active, the front
camera monitors the area ahead of
the vehicle and ensures an optimum light distribution for maximum drivervision during almost all conditions.
Intelligent light ranging with automatic
high beam activation therefore
reduces the difference between
conventional low and high beam
without drastic changes in light-
range, distribution and intensity.A special topographical evaluation
function detects preceding vehicles
on hills or slopes by recognising the
rear light moving ahead. The system
adjusts the height of the light range to
ensure optimum illumination on the
road ahead without dazzling.
Activation
Intelligent light ranging and automatic
high beam activation are switched on together by pushing the indicator
lever twice. They can be switched on
with ignition on.
