WARNING
If you use the memory function on the driver's side while driving, the adjustments could
cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There
is a risk of an accident.
Only use the memory function on the driver's
side while the vehicle is stationary. G
WARNING
When the memory function adjusts the seat or steering wheel, you and other vehicle occu-
pants – particularly children – could become
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
While the memory function is making adjust-
ments, make sure that no one has any body
parts in the sweep of the seat or steering
wheel. If somebody becomes trapped, imme-
diately release the memory function position
button. The adjustment process is stopped. G
WARNING

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

stipulations. Avoid using the Tside lamps
for periods lasting several hours. Where pos-
sible, switch on the right Xor left W
parking lamp.

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

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

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

the main-beam headlamps are switched off
automatically The Kindicator lamp on the

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.
