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.

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:
R light switch

The exterior lighting (except the side lamps/
parking lamps) switches off automatically if
you:
R remove the key from the ignition lock
R open the driver's door with the key in posi-
tion 0in the ignition lock.
Automatic headlamp mode
à is the preferred light switch setting. The
light setting is automatically selected accord- ing to the brightness of the ambient light
(exception: poor visibility due to weather con-
ditions such as fog, snow or spray):
R key in position 1in the ignition lock: the
side lamps are switched on or off automat- ically depending on the brightness of the
ambient light
R With the engine running: depending on the
ambient light conditions, the daytime driv-
ing lights or the parking and dipped-beam
headlamps are switched on or off automat- ically
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 detect-
ability of your vehicle during the day.
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 advanta-
geous when there is fog or rain.
X To switch on the dipped-beam head-
lamps: turn the key in the ignition lock to
position 2or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to the Lposition.
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 in the ignition lock to position 2or start
the engine.
X Turn the light switch to the LorÃ
position.
X Press the Rbutton.
The yellow Rindicator lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up.
X To switch off the rear foglamp: press the
R button.
The yellow Rindicator lamp in the
instrument cluster goes out. Exterior lighting

Main-beam headlamps
X
To switch on manually: turn the key to
position 2in the ignition lock or start the
engine.
X Vehicles without Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Plus: turn the light switch to LorÃ.
X Vehicles with Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Plus: turn the light switch to L.
X Press the combination switch beyond the
pressure point in the direction of arrow :.
In the Ãposition, the main-beam head-
lamps are only switched on when it is dark
and the engine is running.
The blue Kindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the main-beam
headlamps are switched on.
X To deactivate: move the combination
switch back to its normal position.
The blue Kindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out.
Vehicles with Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Plus: when Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is
activated, it automatically controls activation and deactivation of the main-beam head-
lamps (Y page 143).
Headlamp flasher X
To switch on: turn the key in the ignition
lock to position 1or 2, or start the engine.
X Pull the combination switch in the direction
of arrow =. Hazard warning lamps X
To switch on the hazard warning lamps:
press button :.
All turn signals flash. If you now switch on a turn signal using the combination switch,
only the turn signal lamp on the corre-
sponding side of the vehicle will flash.
X To switch off the hazard warning lamps:
press button :.
The hazard warning lamps switch on auto-
matically 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 auto-
matically if the vehicle reaches a speed of
above 10 km/h again after a full brake appli- cation.
The hazard warning lamps continue to oper-
ate 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 illu-
mination of the road surface, e.g. depending
on the vehicle speed or weather conditions.
The system includes the active light function, cornering light function, motorway mode,
extended range foglamps and off-road lights.
The system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent Light System" function using the on-board
computer (Y page 331). Exterior lighting

Extended range foglamps
The extended range foglamps reduce the
glare experienced by the driver and improve
the illumination of the edge of the carriage-
way.
Active:
if you are driving at speeds below
70 km/h and you switch on the rear foglamp.
Not active: if, following activation, you are
driving at speeds above 100 km/h or if you
switch off the rear foglamp.
Off-road lights The off-road lights facilitate the early recog-
nition of objects/obstacles when driving off-
road thanks to a symmetrical, wider and
brighter distribution of light from the dipped- beam headlamps.
Active: at speeds below 50 km/h.
The off-road lights are only active with the
following off-road programs:
R Slippery
R Off-road
R Travelling uphill
R Rocking free
Not active: at speeds above 50 km/h.
When the off-road lights are switched on, the cornering light function is permanently acti-
vated, the active light function is deactivated
and the headlamp range control is set to
static mode. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
General notes With Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, you can
automatically switch between dipped-beam,
partial main-beam and main-beam head-
lamps.
Partial main-beam illumination is a form of
illumination whereby the main beam is direc-
ted past other road users. Other road users
are kept out of the main-beam. This prevents glare. If there is a vehicle in front, for example,
the main-beam headlamps illuminate the
areas to its right and left, and the vehicle in
front is illuminated by the dipped-beam head-
lamps.
The system automatically adapts the dipped- beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system
no longer detects any other vehicles, it
switches on the main-beam headlamps again.
If the main-beam or partial main-beam head-
lamps are causing too much reflection from
traffic signs, the lights are automatically dim-
med and glare for the driver caused by the
reflections is thus avoided.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windscreen near the overhead control
panel. Exterior lighting
