M
MSolutions The seat heating or seat
ventilation has switched
off prematurely or can-
not be switched on. The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical consum-
ers are switched on.
X Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as the
rear window heating or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the seat heating or seat
ventilation can be switched back on manually. Steering wheel

Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with lights switched on
even during the daytime. In some countries,
operation of the headlamps varies due to legal
requirements and voluntary recommendations. Driving abroad
Vehicles with halogen headlamps It is not necessary to switch your headlamps to
symmetrical dipped beam when driving in coun- tries where vehicles are driven on the opposite
side of the road to the country in which the vehi-
cle is registered. Legal requirements are fulfilled
without switching the headlamps to symmetri-
cal dipped beam.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System It is necessary to switch your headlamps to sym-
metrical dipped beam before crossing the bor-
der into countries where vehicles are driven on
the opposite side of the road. This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled.
You can switch the headlamps to symmetrical or
asymmetrical dipped beam using the "dipped-
beam headlamps for driving on the right/left"
function via the on-board computer
(Y page 244). This must be switched back to
asymmetrical dipped beam upon your return.
Symmetrical lights do not illuminate as large an
area of the edge of the carriageway. In this case,
"highway mode" and "extended-range fog
lamps" are not available. Setting the exterior lighting

WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and plug connectors can
become very hot during use. When replacing a bulb, you could burn yourself on these com-
ponents. There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down beforereplacing the bulb.
Do not use a bulb if it has been dropped or if its
glass tube has been scratched.
The bulb may explode if:
R you touch it
R it is hot
R you drop it
R you scratch it
Use bulbs only in closed lamps that have been
designed for this purpose. Fit only spare bulbs of the same type and the specified voltage.
Marks on the glass tube reduce the service life
of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube with
your bare hands. If necessary, clean the glass
tube when cold with alcohol or spirit and rub it
off with a lint-free cloth. Replacing bulbs
