@ Main beam headlights switched on &. The indicator lamp m in the instrument cluster lights up.
Pull the lever briefly in the direction of the ar-row @to switch off the main beam headlights.
@ Operate headlight flasher. The headlight flash-er comes on for as long as the lever is pulled. The indicator lamp ID lights up.
Lane change flash
To operate the lane change flash, push the lever up or down to the point where you incur resistance and then release the lever. The turn signal flashes three times.
This lane change flash function can be deactivated at a qualified workshop.
A WARNING
Incorrect use of turn signals, a failure to use turn signals, or forgetting to switch off a turn signal can confuse other road users. This can lead to accidents and serious Injuries.
Switching lights on and off
A WARNING (Continued)
• Always activate the turn signal In good time when changing lanes and performing overtaking or turning manoeuvres.
• Always switch off the turn signal once the lane change or overtaking or turning ma-noeuvre has been completed.
A WARNING
Incorrect use of the main beam headlights can lead to accidents and serious Injuries as the main beam headlights can distract and dazzle other road users.
m The turn signal will only work when the igni-m lion is switched on. The hazard warning lights also work when the ignition is switched off 411.
m If one turn signal fails on the vehicle or on the m trailer, the indicator lamp will start flashing twice as fast.
m The main beam headlights can only be m switched on if the dipped beam headlights are already on.
l"'""'rT1 First read and observe the Introductory L--J,::.,U information and safety warnings & on page 106.
Observe any country-specific regulations when us-ing vehicle lighting.
1081 Before the; journey
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket 139, the vehicle's rear fog lights are switched off automatically if a trailer with rear fog lights is electrically connected to the vehicle. .,.
Automatic headlight control AUTO
The automatic headlight control is merely an aid and will not always be able to detect all driving sit-uations.
If the light switch is in position AUTO, the vehicle lights and the lighting in instruments and switches will switch on and off automatically in the following situations => .&.:
Automatically switched on
• When the rain sensor detects darkness, e.g. when driving through tunnels.
• When the rain sensor detects that it is raining and switches the wipers on.
Automatically switched off
• When the rain sensor detects that there is enough light.
• When the wipers have not been used for a few minutes.
Static cornering light
When cornering slowly or travelling around very tight bends, a static cornering light is switched on automatically to illuminate the inside of the bend.
The static cornering light is integrated into the fog lights and only lights up at speeds below approxi-mately 40 km/h (25 mph).
When reverse gear is engaged, the static corner-ing light on both sides of the vehicle may switch on to provide better illumination of the area when ma-noeuvring.
Main beam assist
r-("'n First read and observe the introductory 1..-JcJl Information and safety warnings.&. on page 106.
Main beam assist can help to prevent other road users from being dazzled.
Main beam assist (Light Assist)
Within the limits of the system, the main beam as-sist automatically switches the main beam on at speeds of over approximately 60 kmlh (37 m ph),
110 I Before the journey
A WARNING
Accidents can occur if roads are not suffi-ciently Illuminated and other road users have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or cannot see it at all.
• The automatic headlight control (AUTO) only switches on the dipped beam headlights when there is a change In the level of bright-ness and not, for example, if it Is foggy.
• Never drive with daytime running lights if the street Is not sufficiently lit due to weather and lighting conditions. The daytime running lights are not bright enough to Illuminate the road ahead and to ensure that other road users are able to see you.
• The rear lights will not be switched on with the daytime running lights. If the rear lights are not switched on, the vehicle may not be visible to other road users If it Is dark, raining, or If visibility Is poor.
m In cool or damp weather, the interior of the l..!J headlights, rear lights and turn signals may mist up briefly. This is normal and does not affect the service life of the lighting system of your vehi-cle.
Main beam assist normally recognises illuminated areas such as towns and deactivates the main beam while driving through them. .,.
Switching main beam assist on and off manually
Function Action
Switching on -Switch on the ignition and turn the light switch to position AUTO. -Push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards from its initial position =:-page 107.
When the main beam assist is switched on, the indicator lamp w lights up in the instru-ment cluster display.
-Switch off the ignition. -OR: turn the light switch to a position other than AUTO =>page 108.
Switching off -OR: with the main beam switched on, pull the turn signal and main beam lever back-wards. -OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam. The main beam assist is then switched off.
Fault
it may not be possible to switch off the main beam quickly enough or at all using main beam assist due to the following:
• In poorly lit streets where there are highly-re-flective signs.
• When encountering other road users with insuf-ficient lighting, such as pedestrians or cydists.
• In tight bends, brows of hills or depressions in the land or half-hidden oncoming traffic.
• With oncoming traffic on streets with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the central barrier e. . truck drivers. g
• If the camera is broken or the power supply is interrupted.
• In fog, snow or heavy rain.
• In dusty or sandy areas.
• Damage to the windscreen in the camera's vi-sion field.
• If the viewing field of the camera is misted up, dirty, covered by a sticker, snow or ice.
A WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main beam control tempt you into taking any risks when driving-this can cause acci-dents. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Always check the lights yourself and ad-just them to the prevailing conditions for lights, vision and road traffic.
• The main beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not work properly in certain situations.
• If the camera's field of view is dirty, cov-ered or damaged, the function of the main beam assist may be impaired. This also ap-plies If changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example if additional headlights are fitted.
CD
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the sys-tem:
• Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
• Do not cover the camera's field of view.
• Check the area of the windscreen that Is in the camera's field of view for damage.
m The headlight flasher and the main beam can W be switched on and off manually at any time with the turn signal and main beam lever =>page 107.
m Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of W operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, could impair the functions of the main beam assist system (Light Assist).
