WARNING
The exterior mirror on the front-passenger
side reduces the size of the image. Visible
objects are actually closer than they appear.
This means that you could misjudge the dis-

dent.
For this reason, always make sure of the
actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.

WARNING
Electrolyte may escape if the glass in an auto- matic anti-glare mirror breaks. The electrolyte
is harmful and causes irritation. It must not
come into contact with your skin, eyes, res-

There is a risk of injury.
If you come into contact with the electrolyte,
observe the following:
R Rinse off the electrolyte from your skin
immediately with water.
R Immediately rinse the electrolyte out of
your eyes thoroughly with clean water.
R If the electrolyte is swallowed, immediately
rinse your mouth out thoroughly. Do not
induce vomiting.
R If electrolyte comes into contact with your
skin or hair or is swallowed, seek medical
attention immediately.
R Immediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with electrolyte.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.

General notes You can use this function to set the headlamps
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-
lamps from high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low-beam
headlamp range depending on the distance to
the other vehicle. Once the system no longer
detects any other vehicles, it reactivates the
high-beam headlamps.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control panel.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognize 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 98

The front and rear light clusters of your vehicle
are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not
replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required.
Lamps are an important aspect of vehicle safety.
You must therefore make sure that these func-
tion correctly at all times. Have the headlamp
setting checked regularly. Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
! Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col- lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
! If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
! Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due to
optical influences and the windshield becom- ing dirty in dry weather conditions, the wind-
shield wipers may be activated inadvertently.
This could then damage the windshield wiper blades or scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch offthe windshield wipers in dry weather. 0047

In the 0062or0063 position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically according
to the intensity of the rain. In the 0063position,
the rain sensor is more sensitive than in
the 0062 position, causing the windshield wiper
to wipe more frequently.
The rain sensor is only an aid. The driver is
responsible for ensuring unimpaired vision. Turn
the switch to a suitable position, depending on
the intensity of the precipitation, to ensure that a good view of the traffic conditions is main-
tained.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield willno longer be wiped properly. This could preventyou from observing the traffic conditions.
Worn or damaged wiper blades cause smearing. This can cause the rain sensor to malfunction 100
