ditions are met:
The light switch is in the position 
.
The windscreen wipers are on for more than 15 s.
The light turns off about 4 minutes after turning off the wipers.
CAUTION
Poorer visibility is evaluated by a motor mounted below the windscreen in the
holder of the interior mirror sensor. Do not attach any stickers or similar ob-
jects in front of the light sensor on the windscreen in order to avoid impairing
the function or its reliability.
Xenon headlight
Read and observe
on page 64 first.
The Xenon headlight (hereinafter referred to as system) ensures that the
roads are illuminated independent of the traffic and weather conditions.
The system automatically adjusts the light cone in front of the vehicle due to
the driving data (e.g. vehicle speed and load conditions, steering angle, using
the wiper).
The system works as long as the light switch is in position .
The system operates automatically in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam.
City mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adapted so that the adjacent side-
walks, crossings, pedestrian crossings, etc., are also illuminated. The mode is
active at speeds of 15-50 km/h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
spond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is active at
speeds above 120 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
duce the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 20-70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers con-
tinuously operate for a period of time longer than about 2 minutes. The deacti-
vation of the mode is carried out a few minutes after switching off the wiper. 
66Using the system

Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km/h and in all system modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
If this mode is activated, there is no automatic cone of light adaptation in front
of the vehicle. When switching on the ignition the warning light 
flashes for
10 seconds.
This mode can be enabled / disabled via the MAXI DOT display in the Travelmode

menu option.
WARNINGIf there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.
