ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
The light switch element is located
next to the steering wheel.Depending on the ambient bright-
ness, the system switches the

Variable light distribution enables
even better illumination of the car-
riageway.
The light distribution is automati-
cally adapted to the speed.
If equipment includes a navigation system, the light distribution is
automatically adapted depending
on the navigation data and speed.
The illuminated area of the
low-beam headlights is extended at
the sides.
The illumination width of the
low-beam headlights is expanded.
In sharp turns up to a specified
speed, for example in hairpin bends
or when turning off, a cornering
light is added to illuminate the
inside area of the bend.
The cornering light is activated
automatically depending on the
steering angle or use of the turn
indicators.
The cornering light may be acti-
vated automatically when driving in
reverse, irrespective of the steer-
ing angle.
Automatic high-beam detects other
road users in good time and acti-
vates or deactivates the high beam
depending on the traffic situation.

Automatic high-beam ensures that
the high-beam headlights are
switched on when the traffic situa-
tion allows. The high-beam head-
lights are not switched on by the
system in the low speed range.
The system responds to the lights
from oncoming traffic and traffic
driving ahead of you, and to ambi-
ent lighting, for example in built-up
areas.
The high-beam headlights can be
switched on and off manually at any
time.
If the vehicle is equipped with daz-
zle-free Automatic high-beam, the
high-beam headlights are not
switched off for oncoming vehicles
or vehicles driving ahead of you;
instead, the areas of the beam that
would otherwise dazzle the oncom-
ing traffic or traffic driving ahead
are masked off. In this case, the
blue indicator lamp continues to
illuminate.
If the headlights are converted, see
page 176, automatic high-beam
may only function to a limited
extent.
1Press the button on the
light switch element.
The LED in the button illuminates.
2Press the button on the turn
indicator lever.
The system will switch automati-
cally between low-beam and
high-beam headlights.
If a journey is interrupted with auto-
matic high-beam activated: when
the journey is resumed, automatic
high-beam remains activated.

vated by switching the high beams
on and off manually, see page 139.
To reactivate Automatic high-beam,
press the button on the turn indica-
tor lever. General
Activating
The indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster is illumi-

Press the button on the turn indica-

Automatic high-beam cannot
replace the driver's own judgement
as to when to use the high-beam
headlights. Therefore activate the
dipped headlights manually if the
situation requires it.
In the following situations, the sys-
tem will not operate or its operation
will be impaired and your interven-
tion may be required:
In extremely unfavourable
weather conditions such as fog
or heavy precipitation.
When detecting poorly lit road
users such as pedestrians,
cyclists or horse riders or car-
riages and when trains or ships
are close to the road, or when
animals are crossing the road.
On narrow bends, on steep hill-
tops or in depressions, when
there is crossing traffic or if the
view of oncoming vehicles on a motorway is obstructed.
In poorly lit towns or where there
are highly reflective signs.
When the windscreen in front of
the rear-view mirror is covered
with condensation, dirt, stickers,
labels, etc.
Before the rear fog light is switched
on, the low-beam headlights must
be switched on.
If automatic driving lights control,
see page 171, has been activated,
the low-beam headlights switch on
automatically when the rear fog
light is switched on.

DRIVING HINTS
When visibility is poor due to fog,
even if it is daytime, turn the low
beam headlights on to make your
vehicle more visible to other vehi-
cles, etc. Drive with caution at a low
speed, using the centerline, guard-
rails, taillights of a preceding vehi-
cle, etc., as guide.
When the vehicle is being blown by
crosswinds, drive at a lower speed
and grip the steering wheel
stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially suscepti-
ble to crosswinds when exiting a
tunnel or underpass, when driving on a bridge or embankment, or
when passing or being passed by a
truck or other large vehicle.
During a rain storm or when the
road surface is wet, the road sur-
face may be slippery and visibil-
ity may be reduced. In this case,
turn the low beam headlights on
to make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other vehicles, etc.
Increase the distance between
your vehicle and preceding vehi-
cles and drive safely at a lower
speed than normal, avoiding
sudden acceleration, braking or
steering operations.
Use the rear defroster and air
conditioning system to prevent
the windows from fogging up.
Hydroplaning is more likely to
occur when driving on ruts or
through large puddles.
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of
water can form between the tyres
and the road. Driving in inclement weather
