Curve and cornering lights
On tight bends or when turning off,
depending on the steering angle or
the indicator light signal, an additional left or right reflector is switched on
which illuminates the road in the
direction of travel. It is activated up to
a speed of 70 km/h.
Town light
Activated automatically at a speed up to approx. 55 km/h. In situations with
exterior ambient light both cornering lights are switched on with reduced
intensity. The light is wide and
symmetrical.
Country light
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 55 and
180 km/h. The beam of light and the
brightness is different between the left and the right side.
Motorway light Activated automatically at a speed
above approx. 180 km/h and minimal
steering movements. It switches on
after a delay or directly when the vehicle is powerfully accelerated. The
light beam is longer and brighter.
High beam assist
This feature allows high beam to
function as the main driving light at
night and when vehicle speed
exceeds 40 km/h.
It switches automatically to low beam
when:
● The camera or a sensor in the windscreen detects the lights of
oncoming or preceding vehicles.
● The vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.

134Driving and operatingDriving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 138.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats, which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.
A vehicle message will be displayed
in the Info-Display.Caution
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and
is held in that position for more
than 10 seconds, damage may
occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.
Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging the
battery.
Diesel particle filter 3 142.
