Lights and visibility
●
Always use your dipped beam head lights if
it is raining or if visibility is poor. WARNING
If the headlights are set too high and not
used correctly, there is a risk of dazzling or
distracting other road users. This could result
in a serious accident.
● Always make sure that the headlights are
correctly adjusted. Daytime driving light
The daytime driving lights consist of individu-
al lights, integrated in the front headlights.
With the daylight driving lights on, only these
lights switch on
››› .
The daytime driving lights switch on every
time the ignition is switched on, if the switch
is in positions  or , according to the level
of exterior lighting.
When the light switch is in position , a
light sensor automatically switches dipped
beam on and off (including the control and
instrument lighting) or the daytime driving
lights depending on the level of exterior
lighting. WARNING
● Never drive with daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
● The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driving light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, in the case
of heavy rain or in conditions of poor visibili-
ty. Turn signal and main beam lever

Push the lever all the way down to turn off
the corresponding function.
Convenience turn signals
For the convenience turn signals, move the
lever as far as possible upwards or down-
wards and release the lever. The turn signal
will flash three times.
The convenience turn signals are activated
and deactivated in the Easy Connect system
via the  key and the
Setup function button
››› page 81 . In
v ehicles that do not have the correspond-
ing menu, this function can be deactivated in
a specialised workshop. WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals, or
forgetting to deactivate them can confuse
other road users. This could result in a seri-
ous accident.
● Always give warning when you are going to
change lane, overtake or when turning, acti-
vating the turn signal in good time.
● As soon as you have finished changing
lane, overtaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off. WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause ac-
cidents and serious injury, as the main beam
may distract or dazzle other drivers. Note
● The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.
● If a trailer turn signal malfunctions, the
control lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will flash
at double speed.
● The main beam headlights can only be
sw
itched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on. » 95

Operation
Note
In cold or damp weather conditions, the
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal and
in no way effects the useful life of the vehicle
lighting system. Automatic dipped beam control
The automatic dipped beam control is merely
intended as an aid and is not able to recog-
nise all driving situations.
When the light switch is in position , the
vehicle lights and the instrument panel and
switch lighting switch on and off automatical-
ly in the following situations
››› in Daytime
driving light on page 95:Automatic switching
onAutomatic switching
off
The photo sensor detects
darkness, for example,
when driving through a
tunnel.When adequate lighting is
detected.
The rain sensor detects
rain and activates the
windscreen wipers.When the windscreen wip-
ers have been inactive for
a few minutes. WARNING
If the road is not well lit and other road users
cannot see the vehicle well enough or at all,
accidents may occur.
● The automatic dipped beam control ( )
only switches on the dipped beam when
there are no changes in brightness, and not,
for example when it is foggy. Main beam assist*
Main beam assist (Light Assist)
The main beam assist operates, within the
limits of the system and depending on the
environmental and traffic conditions, as of a
speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) when it switches
on automatically, and is then deactivated
again below 30 km/h (18 mph)
››› . This is
managed via a camera situated on the base
of the interior mirror.
The main beam assist generally detects illu-
minated areas and deactivates the main
beam when passing through a town, for ex-
ample. Switching the main beam assist on and off

– OR: with main beam on, move the main
beam and turn signal lever backwards.
– OR: move the main beam and turn the sig-
nal lever forwards to manually switch the
main beam on. The main beam assist will then
be deactivated. Malfunctions
The following conditions may prevent the
main beam headlight control from turning off
the headlights in time or from turning off al-
together:
● In poorly lit towns with highly reflective
signs.
● Other insufficiently lit road users (such as
pedestrians or cyclists).
● On tight bends and steep slopes (bumps)
and when oncoming vehicles are partially ob-
scured.

If the vehicle is at a
standstillThe activated position provision-
ally changes to the previous posi-
tion.
During automatic
wipe
The air conditioner comes on for
approximately 30 seconds in air
recirculation mode to prevent the
smell of the windscreen washer
fluid entering the inside the vehi-
cle.
For the interval wipe
Intervals between wipes depend
on the vehicle's speed. The high-
er the vehicle speed the shorter
the intervals. Heated windscreen washer jets
The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it
does not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
The heated windscreen washer jets automati-
cally adjust the heat depending on the ambi-
ent temperature, when the ignition is switch-
ed on.
Headlight wash/wipe system
The headlight washers/wipers clean the
headlight lenses.
After the ignition is switched on, the first and
every fifth time the windscreen washer is
switched on, the headlights are also washed. Therefore, the windscreen wiper lever should
be pulled towards the steering wheel when
the dipped beam or main beam are on. Any
incrusted dirt (such as insects) should be
cleaned regularly (e.g. when refuelling).
To ensure the headlight washers work cor-
rectly in winter, any snow which has got into
the bumper jet supports should be cleaned
away. If necessary, remove snow with an anti-
icing spray.
Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obstacles
that are on the windscreen. The wiper will
stop moving if the obstacle blocks its path.
Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper
back on again. Rain sensor*

Full-LED headlight system*
Full-LED headlights handle all light functions
(daylight, side light, turn signal, dipped
beam and route light) with light emitting di-
odes (LEDs) as a light source.
Full-LED headlights are designed to last the
lifetime of the car and light bulbs cannot be
replaced. In case of headlight failure, go to
an authorised workshop to have it replaced.

● Take particular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm. Risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glass can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure yourself on sharp edges, in particu-
lar on the headlight housing. CAUTION
● Remove the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur. ●
Switch off the lights and the parking light
before changing a bulb.
● Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
pose of used bulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Please check at regular intervals that all
lighting (especially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you
have the correct new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare hands, use a cloth or paper towel
instead, since the fingerprints left on the
glass will vaporise as a result of the heat gen-
erated by the bulb, they will be deposited on
the reflector and will impair its surface. 234
