Automatic headlight mode
is the preferred light switch setting. The
light setting is automatically selected according
to the brightness of the ambient light (excep-
tion: poor visibility due to weather conditions
such as fog, snow or spray):
•Ignition switch in ACC or ON position: the
side lights are switched on or off automati-
cally depending on the brightness of the
ambient light.
•With the engine running: if you have
switched on the daytime driving lights func-
tion in the vehicle information display, the
side lights and low beam headlights are
switched on or off automatically depending
on the brightness of the ambient light.
To switch on automatic headlight mode:turn the
light switch to.
WARNING
When the light switch is set to , the
low-beam headlights may not be switched on
automatically if there is fog, snow or other
causes of poor visibility due to the weather
conditions such as spray. There is a risk of an
accident
In such situations, turn the light switch to
.The automatic headlight feature is only an aid.
The driver is responsible for the vehicle lighting
at all times.
The daytime driving lights improve the detect-
ability of your vehicle during the day.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system is ac-
tive, tail lights on your vehicle are not on. It is
necessary at dusk to turn on your headlights.
Failure to do so could cause an accident injur-
ing yourself and others.
When the side lights and low-beam headlights
are switched on, the green
(side lights)
and(low-beam headlights) indicator
lights in the combination meter light up.
Low-beam headlights
When the ignition is switched on and the light
switch is in theposition, the side lights
and low-beam headlights are switched on even
if the light sensor does not sense dark ambient
light conditions. This is advantageous when
there is fog or rain.To switch on the low-beam headlights:
•Switch the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, or start the engine.
•Turn the light switch to. The greenindicator light in the combination me-
ter lights up.
Side lights
NOTE
Always park your vehicle safely and sufficiently
lit according to legal standards. To reduce the
chance of a discharged vehicle battery, avoid the
continuous use of the
sidelights or park-
ing lights for several hours.
To switch on:turn the light switch to
. The
greenindicator light in the combination
meter lights up.
Parking lights
Switching on the parking lights ensures that the
corresponding side of the vehicle is illuminated.
To switch on the parking lights:
•The key is not in the ignition switch or the
switch is in the OFF position.
•Turn the light switch to(left-hand
side of the vehicle) or(right-hand
side of the vehicle).

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (LED HEADLIGHT
ONLY)
You can use this function to set the headlights
to change between low beam and high beam
automatically. The system recognizes vehicles
with their lights on, either approaching from the
opposite direction or traveling in front of your
vehicle, and consequently switches the head-
lights from high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low beam
headlight range depending on the distance to
the other vehicle. Once the system no longer
detects any other vehicles, it switches on the
high beam headlights again.
The system’s optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control panel.
WARNING
•The high beam assist system is a conve-
nience but is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing operation. The driver should remain
alert at all times, ensure safe driving prac-
tices and switch the high beams and low
beam manually when necessary.
•The high beam or low beam may not switch
automatically under the following condi-
tions. Switch the high beam and low beam
manually.
–During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
wind, etc.).
–When a light source similar to a head-
light or tail light is in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
–When the headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle are turned
off, when the color of the light is affected
due to foreign materials on the lights, or
when the light beam is out of position.
–When there is a sudden, continuous
change in brightness.
–When driving on a road that passes over
rolling hills, or a road that has level dif-
ferences.
–When driving on a road with many
curves.–When a sign or mirror-like surface is
reflecting intense light towards the front
of the vehicle.
–When the container, etc. being towed by
a leading vehicle is reflecting intense
light.
–When a headlight on your vehicle is
damaged or dirty.
–When the vehicle is leaning at an angle
due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc.
•The timing of switching the low beam and
high beam may change under the following
situations.
–The brightness of the headlights of the
oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle.
–The movement and direction of the on-
coming vehicle and the leading vehicle.
–When only one light on the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle is illumi-
nated.
–When the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle.
–Road conditions (incline, curve, the road
surface, etc.).
–The number of passengers and the
amount of luggage.
•High beam Assist does not recognize road
users:
–Who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians.
NDS595
2-66Instruments and controls

–Who have low intensity lighting, e. g.
cyclists.
–Whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a
barrier.
•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.
Switching High Beam Assist on/off
To switch on:
Turn the light switch to and press the
combination switch beyond the pressure point
in the direction of arrow
3. Theindicator
light in the vehicle information display lights up
when it is dark and the light sensor switches on
the low-beam headlights.
If you are driving at speeds above approxi-
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 approximately
34 MPH (55 km/h) and no other road users are
detected, the high beam headlights are switched
on automatically. The
indicator light in the
combination meter also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below approxi-
mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) or other road users
are detected or the roads are adequately lit The
high beam headlights are switched off auto-
matically. The
indicator light in the
combination meter goes out. The
indica-
tor light in the vehicle information display re-
mains lit.
To deactivate
:
Move the combination switch back to its normal
position Theindicator light in the vehicle
information display goes out.
