cally sets the blower output to the optimum de-
misting effect. As a result, the airflow may in-
crease or decrease automatically after the
button is pressed
NOTE
You can adjust the blower output manually while
the “Windshield demisting” function is in opera-
tion: by adjusting the airflow control for the air-
conditioning or climate control system (see

ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM
(LED HEADLIGHT ONLY) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System is a system
that adjusts the headlights automatically to suit
the prevailing driving and weather conditions. It
offers advanced functions for improved illumi-
nation of the road surface, e.g. depending on
the vehicle speed or weather conditions. The
system includes the active light function, cor-
nering light function and freeway mode. The
system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the “Adaptive
Front Lighting System” function using the ve-
hicle information display (see Switching the
Adaptive Front Lighting System on/off earlier in
this section)

cyclists.
– Whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a bar-
rier.
•In very rare cases, High beam Assist recog-
nizes road users too late or not at all. In this,
or in similar situations, the automatic high
beam headlights will not be deactivated or
activated regardless. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Always carefully observe the traffic condi-
tions and switch off the high beam head-
lights in good time.
CAUTION
High beam Assist cannot compensate for road
and weather circumstances while driving. The
system saves the driver from having to operate
the switch. The driver always remains respon-
sible for choosing the correct light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the
headlight switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (general
poor visibility and bad weather conditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, covered
or broken.

mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) the headlight range is
set automatically depending on the distance
between the vehicle and other road users.
If you are driving at speeds above approxi-
mately 34 MPH (55 km/h) and no other road
users are detected, the high beam headlights
are switched on automatically. The
