24In briefTyre pressure monitoring
system
A pressure sensor is integrated in
each wheel to monitor tyre pressure.
Whilst driving, the current tyre
pressures appear in the Board
Computer menu.
Deviating tyre pressure is displayed
in the form of a message in the
Info-Display.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
3 174.
Adaptive Forward Lighting
The system improves lighting of
curves and increases the headlight
range.
The beam pivots based on steering
wheel position and vehicle speed.
At higher speeds and continuous straight ahead travel, the beam
automatically raises slightly, thereby
increasing headlight range.
Adaptive forward lighting 3 110.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving. The filter
is cleaned by burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may take up to 25 minutes. Fuel
consumption may be higher during
this period. The emission of smells
and smoke during this process is
normal.

automated can only be started if the
foot brake is depressed. If the foot
brake is not depressed, the control
indicator illuminates 3 134.

Fault in system.
If the swivelling device for curve
lighting fails, the corresponding low
beam lamp is deactivated and the fog lamp is switched on.Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Flashes System switched to symmetrical low
beam.

approx. 4 seconds after the ignition is
switched on as a reminder that the
system has been switched 3 109.

Headlights when driving
abroad
The asymmetrical headlight beam
extends visibility at the edge of the
road at the passenger side.

110Lighting
However, when driving in countries
where traffic drives on the opposite
side of the road, adjust the headlights
to prevent dazzling of oncoming
traffic.
Vehicles with halogen headlight
system Have the headlights adjusted by a
workshop.
Vehicles with adaptive forward lightingAdapting the aim of the headlight
beam:
1. Pull lever and hold.
2. Switch on ignition.
3. An acoustic signal sounds after approx. 3 seconds.
Control indicator B 3 92.
Daytime running lights
With the ignition on and the light switch set to 7 or AUTO , the sidelights
are switched on. When the engine is
running, headlights illuminate.
On vehicle without automatic light
control, 9 must be switched on when
it gets dark for illumination of the
instrument panel.
The daytime running lights switch off when the ignition is switched off.
Adaptive forward lighting
Adaptive forward lighting with Bi-
Xenon headlights improves lighting in
curves and increases headlight
range.Curve lighting
The light beam pivots based on
steering wheel position and speed.
Motorway lighting
At higher speeds and continuous
straight ahead travel, the beam
automatically raises slightly, thereby
increasing headlight range.
Control indicator B 3 92.

Wiper blade on the rear window
Lift wiper arm. Disengage wiper bladeas shown in illustration and remove.
Bulb replacement
Switch off the ignition and switch off
the relevant switch or close the doors.
Only hold a new bulb at the base! Do not touch the bulb glass with bare
hands.
Use only the same bulb type for
replacement.
The bulbs of the front outer lights are
replaced through openings in the front wheel housing: turn wheels in a
way that allows access, release catch
and remove cover.
To replace bulbs on the right side of
the engine compartment, detach the
air hose from the air filter. On the left
side, detach the plug to the fuse box.
Halogen headlights
Headlights have separate systems forhigh beam 1 (inner bulbs) and low
beam 2 (outer bulbs).
Low beam 1. Replace bulbs through the opening in the wheel housing.

2. Remove protective cover 2.
3. Rotate bulb holder anti-clockwise
to disengage. Withdraw the bulb
holder from the reflector.
4. Detach bulb from bulb holder and renew the bulb.
5. Insert the bulb holder, engaging the two lugs into the reflector androtate clockwise to secure.
6. Rotate bulb carrier to right as far as it will go.
7. Install protective cover.
8. Close the opening in the wheel housing with the cover.
High beam 1. Access to the bulbs is through the
