WARNING
Electrolyte may escape if the glass of an auto- matic anti-dazzle mirror breaks. Electrolyte is
harmful and causes irritation. It must not
come into contact with your skin, eyes, res-
piratory organs or clothing or be swallowed.
There is a risk of injury.
If you come into contact with electrolyte,
observe the following:
R immediately rinse off electrolyte from your
skin with water.
R immediately and thoroughly rinse electro-
lyte out of eyes using clean water.
R if electrolyte is swallowed, immediately
rinse out your mouth thoroughly. Do not
induce vomiting. R
if electrolyte comes into contact with skin
or eyes or is swallowed, seek medical atten-
tion immediately.
R immediately change out of clothing that has
been in contact with electrolyte.
R if an allergic reaction occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver's side automatically go into anti- dazzle mode if the following conditions are
met simultaneously:
R the ignition is switched on
R incident light from headlamps strikes the
sensor in the rear-view mirror
The mirrors do not dip if reverse gear is
engaged or if the interior lighting is switched
on. Parking position of the exterior mirror

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 28). 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 coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations. 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
registered, your headlamps must be switched to symmetrical dipped beam as soon as pos-
sible after crossing the border (only vehicles
with Intelligent Light System). This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled. Sym-
metrical lights do not illuminate as large an
area of the edge of the carriageway.
Vehicles with halogen headlamps It is not necessary to switch your headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam when driving in
countries where vehicles are driven on the
opposite side of the road to the country in
which the vehicle is registered. Legal require- ments are fulfilled without switching the
headlamps to symmetrical dipped beam.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System Before crossing the border, set the head-
lamps 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 332).
If the headlamps are converted to symmetri-
cal dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and
"extended range foglamps" functions are not
available. Setting the exterior lighting
Setting options Exterior lighting can be set using the:
