General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom- mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations. Driving abroad
Symmetrical dipped-beam headlamps It is not necessary to switch your headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam when driving in
countries where vehicles are driven on the
opposite side of the road to the country in
which the vehicle is registered. Legal require- ments are fulfilled without switching the
headlamps to symmetrical dipped beam. Setting the exterior lighting
