Headlight cleaning system
Read and observe
and on page 74 first.
Headlights are cleaned under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
The low beam is switched on.
The outside temperature is about -12° C to +39° C.
To clean the headlights, the headlamp is also sprayed after every ten squirts.
The adjustment of the spray interval can be be adjusted by a specialist garage
(maximum after every twentieth spraying of the windscreen).
To ensure the correct functioning of the system, even in winter, this needs to
be regularly cleared of snow and ice (e.g. using the de-icing spray).

MalfunctionsRead and observe
and on page 248 first.
If, for some unknown reason, the system is not available, an appropriate mes-
sage appears in the display of the instrument cluster.
Sensor covered / dirty
If the sensor cover or the sensor is dirty or covered, a message appears on the
instrument cluster display stating there is no sensor view. Clean the sensor
cover or remove the obstacles » Fig. 264 on page 215 .
If there is no sensor view in the winter, the snow on the sensor under the cov-
er could be the reason. The system is functional again after the snow melts
away from the sensor.
System unavailable
If the system is currently unavailable, a message concerning the unavailability
appears. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and then start it again. If the
system still is not available, seek the assistance of a specialist garage.

systems » page 215, in section Introduction .
Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC)
Read and observe
on page 251 first.
The adaptive chassis control (following known as DCC) provides the ability toadjust the shock characteristics for the sporty, normal or comfortable driving
when the corresponding control mode is selected.
The DCC evaluates steering response and road conditions while driving contin-
uously and adjusts the suspension behaviour within the selected driving mode
accordingly.
Mode
Eco
Read and observe on page 251 first.
This mode is suitable for a relaxed style of driving and helps to save fuel.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
Drive
Vehicle acceleration is more relaxed than in
Normal
mode.
The recommended gear is controlled such to achieve the lowest possible fuel
consumption » page 44.
If the START-STOP system is deactivated manually » page 205, this will be au-
tomatically activated.
The automatic gearbox is set automatically to mode E » page 210 .
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Acceleration occurs more relaxed than in
Normal
