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.
