vehicles with LED headlights) -the turning Light
is automatically activated when the steering
wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to
about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are
switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature
provides better illumination at the side of the ve
hicle when you turn off at a junction.
Motorway light* (on vehicles with LED head
lights) -this function adjusts the vehicle Lighting
on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on

If you drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left
hand drive country, or vice versa, it is not neces
sary to adjust the headlights, as they are de
signed for use when driving on the left or right.

to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on
manually when the Light conditions or visi

you should always switch on the dipped
headlights io in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord-
ance with statutory regulations.

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.

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.

the dipped beam headlights must be on and the
main beam assist must be activated on the info
tainment system¢ page 47.
