Useful information
iThis Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip- ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.
iRead the information on qualified special-
ist workshops ( Ypage 27).

General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switchedon even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations.
Driving abroad
Symmetrical low-beam headlamps
Switch the headlamps to symmetrical low
beam in countries in which traffic drives on
the opposite side of the road from the country where the vehicle is registered. This prevents
glare to oncoming traffic. When using sym-
metrical lights, the edge of the road is not lit
as widely and as far ahead as normal.
Have the headlamps converted at a qualified
specialist workshop as close to the border as
possible before driving in these countries.
Asymmetrical low beam
Have the headlamps converted back to asym- metrical low-beam headlamps at a qualified
specialist workshop as soon as possible after
crossing the border again.

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.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not rec-
ognize road users:
R who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
In very rare cases, Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Plus may not recognize road users who do
have lights, or may recognize them too late. In
this or similar situations, the automatic high-
beam headlamps will not be deactivated or
will be activated regardless. There is a risk of
an accident.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and switch off the high-beam headlamps in
good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus cannot take
into account road, weather or traffic condi-
tions. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is only
an aid. You are responsible for adjusting the
vehicle's lighting to the prevailing light, visi-
bility and traffic conditions.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be restricted if there is: R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R dirt on the sensors or the sensors are
obscured

If you are driving at speeds above approx-
imately 16 mph (25 km/h):
The headlamp range is set automatically
depending on the distance between the
vehicle and other road users.
If you are driving at speeds above approx-
imately 19 mph (30 km/h) and no other
road users have been detected:
The high-beam headlamps are switched on
automatically. The Kindicator lamp in
the instrument cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds above approx-
imately 28 mph (45 km/h) and other road
users have been detected:
Partial high-beam is selected automati-
cally. The Kindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below approx-
imately 25 mph (40 km/h):
The partial high-beam headlamps are
switched off automatically. If no other road users are recognize, the high-beam head-
lamps are switched on.
If you are driving at speeds below approx-
imately 16 mph (25 km/h) or the roads are
adequately illuminated:
The high-beam headlamps are switched off
automatically. The Kindicator lamp in
the instrument cluster goes out. The _
indicator lamp in the multifunction display
remains lit.
X To switch off: move the combination
switch back to its normal position or move the light switch to another position.The _ indicator lamp in the multifunc-
tion display goes out.
Interior lighting
An overview of the interior lighting and the
overhead control panel can be found in the
"At a glance" section.
In the Digital Operator's Manual you will find
information on the following topics:
R Automatic interior lighting control
R Manual interior lighting control
R Crash-responsive emergency lighting
Replacing bulbs
The front and rear light clusters of your vehi-
cle are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not
replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualifiedspecialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required.
Lamps are an important aspect of vehicle
safety. You must therefore make sure that
these function correctly at all times. Have the
headlamp setting checked regularly.
