Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all models,
series and optional equipment for your vehi-
cle that were available at the time of going to
press. National variations are possible. Note
that your vehicle may not be equipped with all
of the functions described. This is also the
case for systems and functions relevant to
safety.
i Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops: (Y page 23). Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched on
even during the daytime. In some countries,
operation of the headlamps varies due to legal
requirements and self-imposed obligations. Driving abroad
General notes If your journey takes you to countries where
vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the
road to the country in which the vehicle is reg-
istered, your headlamps must be switched to
symmetrical dipped beam as soon as possible
after crossing the border (only vehicles with
Intelligent Light System). This prevents oncom-
ing traffic from being dazzled. Symmetrical
lights do not illuminate as large an area of the
edge of the carriageway.
Vehicles with bi-xenon or halogen head-
lamps It is not necessary to switch your headlamps to
symmetrical dipped beam when driving in coun- tries where vehicles are driven on the opposite
side of the road to the country in which the vehi-
cle is registered. Legal requirements are fulfilled
without switching the headlamps to symmetri-
cal dipped beam. Vehicles with Intelligent Light System Before crossing the border, set the headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam and after returning
back to asymmetrical dipped beam via the
"Dipped-beam headlamps for driving on the
right/left" function in the on-board computer
(Y page 187).
If the headlamps are converted to symmetrical
dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and "exten- ded range foglamps" functions are not available. Setting the exterior lighting
Setting options Exterior lighting can be set using the:

tion: poor visibility due to weather conditions
such as fog, snow or spray):
R key in position 1in the ignition lock: the side
lamps are switched on or off automatically
depending on the brightness of the ambient
light
R with the drive system running: if you have

tion in the on-board computer, the daytime

beam headlamps are switched on or off auto-
matically depending on the brightness of the
ambient light
X To switch on the automatic headlamps:
turn the light switch to the
Ãposition. G
WARNING
When the light switch is set to Ã, the
dipped-beam headlamps may not be switched on automatically if there is fog, snow or othercauses of poor visibility due to the weather
conditions such as spray. There is a risk of an
accident.
In such situations, turn the light switch to
L.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an aid.
The driver is responsible for the vehicle lighting at all times.
The daytime driving lights improve the detecta-
bility of your vehicle during the day. To do this,
the daytime driving lights function must be
switched on via the on-board computer
(Y page 186).
When the side lamps and dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on, the green T(side
lamps) and L(dipped-beam headlamps)
indicator lamps in the instrument cluster light
up. Dipped-beam headlamps
When the ignition is switched on and the light
switch is in the Lposition, the side lamps
and dipped-beam headlamps are switched on
even if the light sensor does not sense dark
ambient light conditions. This is advantageous
when there is fog or rain.
X To switch on the dipped-beam headlamps:
turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
or start the drive system.
X Turn the light switch to L.
The green Lindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.
Rear foglamp The rear foglamp improves the visibility of your
vehicle in heavy fog for the following traffic.
Please observe the country-specific laws on the
use of rear foglamps.
X To switch on the rear foglamp: turn the key
to position 2in the ignition lock or start the
drive system.
X Turn the light switch to LorÃ.
X Press the Rbutton.

ment cluster lights up.
X To switch off the rear foglamp: press the
R button.
The yellow Rindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out.
Side lamps
! If the battery charge level is very low, the
side lamps or parking lamps are switched off automatically in order to preserve energy to
start the drive system. Always park your vehi-
cle safely in a place that is adequately lit in
accordance with legal stipulations. Avoid
using the side lamps Tfor periods of sev-
eral hours. Where possible, switch the right-
hand X or left-hand Wparking lamp on.
X To switch on: turn the light switch to T.
The green Tindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.

Vehicles with bi-xenon headlamps: the head-
lamps are cleaned automatically if the "Wipe
with washer fluid" function is operated five
times (Y page 108) while the lights are on and
the drive system is running. When you switch off the ignition, the automatic headlamp cleaning
system is reset and counting is resumed from 0. Hazard warning lamps

:.
The hazard warning lamps switch on automati-
cally if:
R an airbag is deployed or
R the vehicle decelerates rapidly from a speed
of above 70 km/h and comes to a standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off automati-
cally if the vehicle reaches a speed of above
10 km/h again after a full brake application.
The hazard warning lamps continue to operate
even if the ignition is switched off. Intelligent Light System
General notes The Intelligent Light System is a system that
adjusts the headlamps automatically to suit the
prevailing driving and weather conditions. It
offers advanced functions for improved illumi-
nation of the road surface, e.g. depending on the vehicle speed or weather conditions. The sys-
tem includes the active light function, corneringlight function, motorway mode and extended
range foglamps. The system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent
Light System" function using the on-board com-
puter (Y page 187).
Active light function The active light function is a system that moves
the headlamps according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way, relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This allows you to recognise pedestrians,
cyclists and animals.
Active: when the lights are switched on.
