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.

ate position:
@- Wipers off
CD- Intermittent wipe. Move switch @ to the left
or to the right to increase or reduce the wiper de­
lay interval. If your vehicle is equipped with the
rain sensor*, the windscreen wipers will be acti­
vated automatically in the rain as long as the ve­
hicle has been moving faster than approx. 4 km/
ha t least once. The higher the sensitivity level for
the rain sensor* is (i.e. the further to the right
the position of switch @ is), the sooner the wind­
screen wipers react to moisture on the wind­
screen. You can deactivate the rain sensor mode*
on the infotainment system (this will activate the
intermittent wipe mode). Select the following on
the infotainment system: !MENU! button> Car >
left control button > Driver assist> Rain sensor >

tion, the wipers will switch from slow continuous
wiping to fast continuous wiping after a while.

A WARNING
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still obliged to man­
ually operate the windscreen wipers as re­
quired depending on visibility.
- Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as light rain, low sun or when driving at
night these coatings can cause increased
dazzle, which is a serious safety hazard.
Such coatings can also cause the wiper
blades to judder.
- Poor visibility can cause accidents. Always
ensure that the wiper blades are in good
condition ¢ page 51, Changing the wind­
screen wiper blades.
CD CAUTION
- In icy conditions, check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If
the wiper blades are frozen to the wind­
screen when you switch on the windscreen
wipers, this could damage the wiper blades.
- Make sure you switch off the windscreen
wiper system (lever in position 0) before you
use an automatic car wash. This will avoid
inadvertent triggering of the wipers and
possible damage to the wiper system.
i Note
- The windscreen wipers are deactivated
when the ignition is switched off. You can
activate the windscreen wipers after switch­
ing the ignition on again by moving the
windscreen wiper lever to any position.
- Worn or dirty wiper blades can cause smear­
ing on the glass. This can also impair the ef­
fectiveness of the rain sensor*. Please check
the wiper blades regularly. ______ �

as the electric windows can be used. This
could result in serious injury.
