Main beam assist
Applies to: vehicles with main beam assist
The main beam assist automatically switches
the main beam headlights on or off depending
on the surrounding light conditions.
A sensor (Located in the mounting for the interior
mirror) detects light sources from other road
users. The main beams are activated or deactiva
ted automatically depending on the position of
vehicles on either side of the road, on the road
speed, and on other traffic and ambient condi
tions.
On vehicles with matrix LED headlights, individu
al segments of the main beam are activated or
deactivated. The relevant sector in front of the
vehicle is masked, while the surrounding areas
remain lit. The ambient surroundings are thus il
luminated optimally without dazzling other road
users.
Activating the main beam assist
Important: The light switch must be set to AUTO,
the dipped beam headlights must be on and the
main beam assist must be activated on the info
tainment system¢ page 47.
... Press the lever forwards ®¢ page 45, Fig. 41
to activate the main beam assist. The indicator
lamp� will light up in the infotainment dis
play and the main beams will be switched on/
off automatically. An indicator lamp. lights
up when the main beams are switched on.
Switching the main beams on/off manually
If the main beams are not switched on or if the
headlights are not dipped as expected, you can
control the dip function manually:

A WARNING
The main beam assist is only intended to as
sist the driver. The driver must always ensure
that the headlights are used when required,
and may have to switch them on or off man
ually, e.g. when the light conditions or visibili
ty are poor. In the following situations man
ual intervention may be necessary:
- Hazardous weather conditions such as fog,
heavy rain and snow or water splashes
- Roads on which oncoming traffic is partially
concealed (e.g. on motorways)
- Indiscernible road users (e.g. cyclists with
insufficient lighting or vehicles with dirty
rear lights)
- Tight corners, steep hill crests or valleys
- Poorly lit towns
- Highly reflective objects, such as road signs
- Windscreen misted up, dirty, frosted or cov-
ered by stickers in front of the sensor

Vl Driving
In start/stop mode, the engine is switched off
automatically when the vehicle stops, e.g. at
traffic lights. The ignition remains on during this
stop phase. The engine is automatically started
on demand.
The start/stop system is automatically activated
each time you switch on the ignition.
Basic conditions for start/stop mode
- The driver's door must be closed.
- The driver's seat belt must be buckled.
- The bonnet must be closed.
- The vehicle must have been moving at over 4
km/h since the last stop.
A WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and pow
er steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal man
ner.
- Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially im
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine
or use power-operated equipment such as
the electric windows -this could lead to in
juries.
- To avoid injury, make sure that the start/
stop system is switched off before working
in the engine compartment ¢page 73.
CD CAUTION
Always switch off the start/stop system
¢page 73 before driving through water.
