The hazard warning lamps automatically
switch on if:
R an air bag is deployed or
R the vehicle decelerates rapidly from a
speed of above 45 mph (70 km/h) and
comes to a standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off auto-
matically if the vehicle reaches a speed of
above 6 mph (10 km/h) again after a full
brake application.
The hazard warning lamps still operate if the
ignition is switched off. Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the low-beam headlamps
are switched on.
Active:
R if you are driving at speeds below 25 mph
(40 km/h) and switch on the turn signal or
turn the steering wheel
R if you are driving at speeds between
25 mph (40 km/ h)and 45 mph (70 km/h)
and turn the steering wheel
The cornering lamp may remain lit for a short
time, but is automatically switched off after
no more than three minutes. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
General notes With Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, you can
automatically switch between low-beam, par-
tial high-beam and high-beam headlamps.
Partial high-beam is a form of illumination
whereby the high-beam is directed past other
road users. Other road users are kept out of
the high-beam. This prevents glare. When
there is a vehicle in front, for example, the
high-beam headlamps illuminate the areas to
its right and left, and the vehicle in front is
illuminated by the low-beam headlamps.
The system automatically adapts the low-
beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system
no longer detects any other vehicles, it reac-
tivates the high-beam headlamps.
If the high-beam or partial high-beam are
causing too much reflection from traffic
signs, the lights are automatically dimmed
and glare for the driver caused by the reflec-
tions is thus avoided.
The system's optical sensor is located behind the windshield near the overhead control
panel. Exterior lighting

Problems with the perfume atomizer
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
M
MSolutions The vehicle interior is
not perfumed although
the perfume atomizer is
activated. The perfume vial has not been pushed into the holder as far as it
will go.
X Slide the perfume vial into the holder as far as it will go. The perfume vial has not been adequately filled.
X Pre-filled vials: dispose of the empty vial.
X Use a new pre-filled vial.
X Refillable vials: refill the vial with a maximum of 15 ml of the
same perfume. The perfume atomizer is faulty.
X Have the perfume atomizer checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. Ionization
You can use the "Ionization" function to purify
the air in the vehicle interior and attain an
improved interior climate.
The ionization of the interior air is odorless
and cannot be perceived directly in the vehi-
cle interior.
You can switch ionization on and off using
COMAND (see the separate operating
instructions).
Ionization can only be switched on if the front automatic climate control is activated. The
side air vent on the driver's side must be
open. Pre-entry climate control via Smart-
Key
General notes The "Pre-entry climate control via SmartKey"
function is only available on PLUG-IN HYBRID
vehicles.
Before getting in, the driver's seat area or the whole interior can be briefly warmed or ven-
tilated in advance with the air from the air
vents being pre-cooled. The high-voltage battery must be sufficiently
charged before "Pre-entry climate control via
SmartKey" can be activated.
When the vehicle is pre-cooled, the following functions are activated:
R Climate control system
R Blower
R Seat ventilation
When the vehicle is pre-warmed, the following
functions are activated:
R Climate control system
R Blower
R Seat heating
R Steering wheel heating
R Exterior mirror heating
R Rear window defroster
If you have activated the following functions
using COMAND, they are activated together
with the "Pre-entry climate control via Smart-
Key" function:
R Armrest heating
R perfume atomizer
R Ionization 180
Operating the climate control systemsClimate control

When the vehicle is heated, the following
functions are activated:
R Climate control system
R Blower
R Seat heating
R Steering wheel heating
R Armrest heating
R Exterior mirror heating
R Rear window defroster
i In contrast to the rest of the climate con-
trol functions, the seat heating/ventilation,
steering wheel heating and armrest heating only switch on if required.
If you have switched on the perfume atomizer or the ionization using COMAND, these will beactivated together with the "Pre-entry climate control at departure time".
Activating the perfume atomizer/ionization
(see separate COMAND operating instruc-
tions).
Setting the departure time You can set the departure time using the
instrument cluster or via the "Vehicle Home-
page" (Y
page 220). The activation of the
"Pre-entry climate control at departure time"
function can be linked to this departure time.
Your vehicle will then be cooled or heated
until the desired temperature is reached in
time for the set departure time. "Pre-entry
climate control at departure time" will be acti- vated a maximum of 55 minutes before
departure. If the departure is delayed, the
vehicle will be heated or cooled for a further
five minutes.
X To set the departure time: set the depar-
ture time via the instrument cluster. To set the departure time via the "Vehicle Home-
page" (Y page 220).
X To activate/deactivate "Pre-entry cli-
mate control at departure time": acti-
vate/deactivate "Pre-entry climate control
at departure time" via COMAND (see sep-
arate operating instructions). To activate/ deactivate the "Pre-entry climate control at
departure time" function via the Vehicle
Homepage (Y page 220).
When activating the "Pre-entry climate con-
trol at departure time" function: you can
select whether only the driver's area or the
whole vehicle interior should be heated or
cooled.
The "Pre-entry climate control at departure
time" function switches off automatically
when the vehicle is started. The following
functions remain active:
R Seat heating
R Seat ventilation
R Armrest heating
R Steering wheel heating
R Perfume atomizer
R Ionization
Switching off "Pre-entry climate control
at departure time": the activated "Pre-entry
climate control at departure time" can be
switched off using the rocker switch
(Y page 183).
Activating/deactivating "Immediate
pre-entry climate control" using the
rocker switch You can activate "Immediate pre-entry cli-
mate control" even if the vehicle interior is
already at the desired temperature. This
means that the vehicle interior continues to
be cooled or heated, e.g. if the journey is
interrupted for up to 50 minutes, and the inte-
rior temperature is kept constant. Operating the climate control systems
