or to impair its effectiveness.
Adaptive headlights (AFS)
Read and observe
on page 65 first.
The AFS system makes sure the street remains lit up depending on the trafficand weather situation.
The system automatically adjusts the cone of light in front of the vehicle to the
driving speed or the use of the wiper.
The AFS system works in tandem with automatic driving lamp control ,
please read the following » page 68.
The AFS system can only work if the following condition is met. The light switch is in the position .
The AHL system operates in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is active if none of the following modes are active.
City mode
The light cone in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that it also illuminates the
adjacent pavements, intersections and pedestrian crossings etc. The mode is
active at speeds of 15 - 50 km / h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
spond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is activated
gradually from a speed of 90 km/h. It is most effective at speeds above
120 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
duce the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 15 – 70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers
continuously operate for a period of time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is
deactivated when the windscreen wipers are switched off for longer than 8
minutes. 
68Operation

Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km.h and in all AFS modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of
the headlights is deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the Maxi DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 45 , Lights and Visibility menu option.WARNINGIf the AFS system is defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.
Note
When the “tourist light” mode is active, the warning light  flashes for 10 sec-
onds each time the ignition is switched on.
