You can use this function to set the
headlamps to change betwee
nlow beam and
high beam automatically. The system
recognizes vehicles with their lights on, either
approaching from the opposite direction or
traveling in front of your vehicle, and
consequently switches the headlamps from
high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low-
beam headlamp range depending on the
distance to the other vehicle. Once the
system no longer detect sany other vehicles,
it reactivates the high-beam headlamps.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control
panel.

other road users have been detected:
The high-beam headlamps are switched on
automatically. The
0015indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below
approximately 30 mph (45 km/h) or other
road users have been detected or the roads

Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the
driver. It might not always recognizef
atigue
or increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to
recognizet hem at all. The system is not a
substitute for awell-rested and attentive
driver.
General notes ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys, such as on highways.
It is active in the range between 50 mph
(80 km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h).
If ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical
indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration on the part of the driver, it
suggests you take abreak.
ATTENTION ASSIST assesses your level of
fatigue or lapses in concentration by taking
the following criteria into account:
R your personal driving style, e.g. steering
characteristics
R journey details, e.g. time of day and length
of journey
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted and warnings may be delayed or
not occur at all:
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the
surface is uneven or if there are potholes
R if there is astrongs ide wind
R if you have adopted asporty driving style
with high cornering speeds or high rates of
acceleration
R if you are predominantly driving slower
than 50 mph (80 km/h) or faster than
112 mph (180 km/h)
R if you are currently using COMAND or
making atelephone call with it
R if the time has been set incorrectly

The battery and the cover of the positive
terminal clamp must be installed securely
during operation.
Comply with safety precautions and take
protective measures when handling
batteries. Risk of explosion.
Fire, open flames and smokin
gare
prohibited when handling the
battery. Avoid creatin gsparks. Battery acid is caustic. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Wear suitable protective clothing,
especially gloves, apron and
faceguard.
Rinse any acid spills immediately
with clear water. Contact a
physician if necessary.
Wear eye protection.
Keep children away.
Observe this Operator's Manual.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you only use batteries
which have been tested and approved for
your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.T hese
batteries provide increased impact
protection to prevent vehicle occupants from
suffering acid burns should the battery be
damaged in the event of an accident.
In order for the battery to achieve the
maximum possible service life, it must always
be sufficiently charged.
The vehicle battery, like other batteries, can
discharge over time if you do not use the
vehicle. In this case, have the battery disconnected at
aqualified specialist
workshop. You can also charge the battery
with acharger recommended by Mercedes-
Benz.C ontactaqualified specialist workshop
for further information.
Have the battery condition of charge checked
more frequently if you use the vehicle mainly
for short trips or if you leave it standin gidle
for alengthy period. Consult aqualified
specialist workshop if you wish to leave your
vehicle parked for along period of time.
i Remove the SmartKey if you park the
vehicle and do not require any electrical
consumers. The vehicle will then use very
little energy, thus conserving battery
power.
i If the power supply has been interrupted,
e.g. if you reconnect the battery, you will
have to:
R set the clock.I nformation on setting the
clock can be found in the separate
operating instructions.
On vehicles with COMAND and a
navigation system, the clock is set
automatically.
R reset the function for folding the exterior
mirrors in/out automatically, by folding
the mirrors out once (Y page 110). Charging the battery

WARNING
During the charging process, abattery produces hydrogen gas. If ashort circuit occurs or sparks
are created, the hydrogen gas can ignite. There is arisk of an explosion.
R Make sure that the positive terminal of aconnected battery does not come into contact with
vehicle parts.
R Never place metal objects or tools on abattery.
R It is important that you observe the described order of the battery terminals when connecting
and disconnecting abattery.
R When jump-starting, make sure that the battery poles with identical polarity are connected.
R It is particularly important to observe the described order when connecting and disconnecting
the jumper cables.
R Never connect or disconnectt he battery terminals while the engine is running.G
WARNING
Ad ischarged battery can freeze at temperatures below freezin gpoint .When jump-starting the
vehicle or charging the battery, gases can escape from the battery. There is arisk of an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before charging it or jump-starting.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy startinga ttempts. Otherwise, the catalytic converter could be
damaged by the non-combusted fuel.
Do not start the vehicle using arapid charging device. If your vehicle's battery is discharged,
the engine can be jump-started from another vehicle or from asecond battery using jumper
cables. Observe the following points:
R The battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle's battery is not accessible,
jump-start the vehicle using asecond battery or ajump-starting device.
R You may only jump-start th evehicl ewhen th eenginea nd exhaust system are cold.
R Do no tstart th eengineift hebattery is frozen .Let th ebattery thaw first. 326
