Useful information
i This Operator's manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip- ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops (Y page 26). Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom- mends that you drive with the lights switchedon even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations. Driving abroad
Conversion to symmetrical low beam Switch the headlamps to symmetrical low
beam in countries in which traffic drives on
the opposite side of the road from the country
where the vehicle is registered. This prevents glare to oncoming traffic. When using sym-
metrical lights, the edge of the road is not lit
as widely and as far ahead as normal.
Have the headlamps converted at a qualified
specialist workshop as close to the border as
possible before driving in these countries.
Conversion to asymmetrical low beam
after returning Have the headlamps converted back to asym-
metrical low-beam headlamps at a qualified
specialist workshop as soon as possible after crossing the border again. Setting the exterior lighting

R the light switch
R the combination switch (Y page 110)

Automatic headlamp mode
G
WARNING
When the light switch is set to 0058, the low-
beam headlamps may not be switched on
automatically if there is fog, snow or other
causes of poor visibility due to the weather
conditions such as spray. There is a risk of an
accident.
In such situations, turn the light switch to
0058.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid. The driver is responsible for the vehicle's lighting at all times.
0058 is the favored light switch setting. The
light setting is automatically selected accord- ing to the brightness of the ambient light
(exception: poor visibility due to weather con-
ditions such as fog, snow or spray):
R SmartKey in position 1in the ignition lock:
the parking lamps are switched on or off
automatically depending on the brightness of the ambient light.
R With the engine running: if you have acti-
vated the daytime running lamps function
via the on-board computer, the daytime
running lamps or the low-beam headlamps
and parking lamps are switched on or off
automatically depending on the brightnessof the ambient light.
X To switch on automatic headlamp
mode: turn the light switch to 0058.
The daytime running lamps improve the visi-
bility of your vehicle during the day. The day-
time running lamps function is required by law in Canada.
When the engine is running and the vehicle is
stationary: if you move the selector lever from a drive position to P, the daytime running
lamps/low-beam headlamps go out after
three minutes.
When the engine is running, the vehicle is
stationary and in bright ambient light: if you
turn the light switch to 0060, the daytime
running lamps and parking lamps switch on. If the engine is running and you turn the light
switch to 0058, the manual settings take
precedence over the daytime running lamps.
Low-beam headlamps
Even if the light sensor does not detect that it is dark, the parking lamps and low-beam
headlamps switch on when the ignition is
switched on and the light switch is set to the
0058 position. This is a particularly useful
function in the event of rain and fog.
X To switch on the low-beam headlamps:
turn the SmartKey in the ignition lock to
position 2or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to 0058.
The green 0058indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.
Front fog lamps
In conditions where visibility is poor due to
fog, snow or rain, the fog lamps improve vis-
ibility as well as making it easier for other road
users to see you. They can be operated
together with the parking lamps or together
with the parking lamps and low-beam head-
lamps.
X To switch on the front fog lamps: turn
the SmartKey in the ignition lock to position 2 or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to 0058or0058.
X Press the 005Abutton.
The green 005Aindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.
X To switch off the front fog lamps: press
the 005A button.
The green 005Aindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out.
Only vehicles with front fog lamps are equip-
ped with the "fog lamp" function; information
on the fog lamp function for vehicles with
Intelligent Light System (Y page 112).
Rear fog lamp
The rear fog lamp improves visibility of your
vehicle for the traffic behind in the event of
thick fog. Please take note of the country- Exterior lighting

specific regulations for the use of rear fog
lamps.
X To switch on the rear fog lamps: turn the
SmartKey in the ignition lock to position 2
or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to 0058or0058.
X Press the 005Ebutton.
The yellow 005Eindicator lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up.
X To switch off the rear fog lamp: press the
005E button.
The yellow 005Eindicator lamp in the
instrument cluster goes out.
i When the rear fog lamp is switched on,
the center brake lamp in the tail lamp
switches off due to a legal requirement.
Parking lamps ! If the battery has been excessively dis-
charged, the parking lamps or standing
lamps are automatically switched off to
enable the next engine start. Always park
your vehicle safely and sufficiently lit
according to legal standards. Avoid the
continuous use of the 0060parking lamps
for several hours. If possible, switch on the
0064 right or the 0063left standing lamp.
X To switch on: turn the light switch to 0060.
The green 0060indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.
Standing lamps

corresponding side of the vehicle is illumina-
ted.
X To switch on the standing lamps: the
SmartKey is not in the ignition lock or it is in position 0.
X Turn the light switch to 0063(left-hand side
of the vehicle) or 0064(right-hand side of

ment cluster lights up when the high-beam headlamps are switched on.
