Adaptive Highbeam Assist
General notes You can use this function to set the headlamps
to switch automatically between dipped beam
and main beam. The system recognises vehicles
with their lights on, either approaching from the opposite direction or travelling in front of your
vehicle, and consequently switches the head-
lamps from main beam to dipped beam.
The system automatically adapts the dipped-
beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system no
longer detects any other vehicles, it switches on
the main-beam headlamps again.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windscreen near the overhead control
panel.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognise 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
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may fail to recognise other road users
that have lights, or may recognise them too
late. In this, or in similar situations, the auto-
matic main-beam headlamps will not be deac-
tivated or will be activated despite the pres-
ence of other road users. There is a risk of an accident.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditionsand switch off the main-beam headlamps in
good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting
to the prevailing light, visibility and traffic con-
ditions. In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
impaired in the case of:
R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R dirt on the sensors or obscured sensors

To switch on: turn the light switch to the
à position.
X Press the combination switch forwards

The indicator lamp _on the multifunction
display lights up when it is dark and the light
sensor switches on the dipped-beam head-
lamps.
If you are driving at speeds above approx-
imately 25 km/h:
The headlamp range is set automatically
depending on the distance between the vehi- cle and other road users.
If you are driving at speeds above approx-
imately 30 km/h and no other road users are
detected:
The main-beam headlamps are switched on
automatically. The Kindicator lamp on the
instrument cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below 25 km/h or
other road users are detected or the roads are adequately lit:
the main-beam headlamps are switched off
automatically The Kindicator lamp on the
instrument cluster goes out. The _indi-
cator lamp on 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 K indicator lamp on the instrument
cluster goes out. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
General notes With Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, you can
automatically switch between dipped-beam,
partial main-beam and main-beam headlamps.
Partial main-beam illumination is a form of illu-
mination whereby the main beam is directed Exterior lighting
119Lights and windscreen wipers Z

past other road users. Other road users are kept
out of the main beam. This prevents glare. If
there is a vehicle in front, for example, the main- beam headlamps illuminate the areas to its right
and left, and the vehicle in front is illuminated by the dipped-beam headlamps.
The system automatically adapts the dipped-
beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system no
longer detects any other vehicles, it switches on
the main-beam headlamps again.
If the main-beam or partial main-beam head-
lamps are causing too much reflection from traf- fic signs, the lights are automatically dimmed
and glare for the driver caused by the reflectionsis thus avoided.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windscreen near the overhead control
panel.

J To set the airflow (Y page 132) Notes on using automatic climate
control
Optimum use of automatic climate con-
trol The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on how best to use THERMATIC automatic
climate control or THERMOTRONIC.
R Activate climate control using the Ã
rocker switch. The indicator lamp above the
à rocker switch lights up. The "Cooling
with dehumidification" function is activated in
automatic mode.
R Set the temperature to 22 †.
R Use the "Windscreen demisting" function only
briefly until the windscreen is clear again.
R Use the "Air-recirculation mode" function only
briefly, e.g. if there are unpleasant outside
odours or when in a tunnel. The windows
could otherwise mist up as no fresh air is
drawn into the vehicle in air-recirculation
mode.
R Vehicles with THERMATIC with auxiliary heat-
ing or THERMOTRONIC: use the "Residual
heat" function if you want to heat or ventilate
the vehicle interior when the ignition is
switched off. The "Residual heat" function can
be switched on or off only with the ignition
switched off. The "Residual heat" function is
switched off when the ignition is switched on.
DYNAMIC SELECT switch (except
Mercedes-AMG vehicles) You can choose between various drive programs
with the DYNAMIC SELECT switch
(Y page 152).
If you have selected drive program E:
R during heating, the electrical heater booster
is deactivated and heat output is reduced as a
result
R the rear window heating running time is
reduced If you have selected drive program
C,Sor S+ ,
the current climate settings are maintained.
ECO start/stop function During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control operates only at a reduced capacity. If
you require the full climate control output, you
can switch off the ECO start/stop function by
pressing the ECO button (Y page 149). Operating the climate control system
Switching the climate control on/off
General notes When climate control is switched off, the air
supply and air circulation are also switched off.

Operating the climate control systemClimate control

Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on or off using the remote control
General notes
Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls for
your vehicle. For more information, please con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
Store the remote control for the auxiliary heat-
ing so that the auxiliary heating cannot be
switched on unintentionally. In particular,
ensure that the remote control for the auxiliary
heating is kept out of the reach of children.
The remote control has a range of approximately
300 metres. This range is reduced by:
R sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control and
the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavourable
position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
If the remote control battery is low, the battery
symbol on the left of the display is shown as
empty. Replace the remote control battery and
observe the important safety notes when doing so (Y page 140).
