Notes on changing the lights when driving abroad
It is not necessary to adjust the headlamps. The
leg
al requirements are also met in countries in
which traPc drives on the other side of the road. Information about lighting systems and your
r
esponsibility The various lighting systems of the vehicle are
onl
y aids. The driver of the vehicle is responsible
for correct vehicle illumination in accordance with
the prevailing light and visibility conditions, legal
requirements and traPc situation. Light switch

If the battery is
insuPcientl y charged, the stand-
ing lights or parking lights will be switched oM
automatically to facilitate the next engine start.
The exterior lighting (except standing and parking
lights) will switch oM automatically when the driv-
er's door is opened.

( page 151).
Automatic driving lights function
When the vehicle is switched on, the standing
lights, low beam and daytime running lights are
switched on automatically depending on the light
conditions. &
WARNING Risk of accident when t
he
dipped beam is switched oM in poor visi-
bility
When the light switch is set to X, t
he
dipped beam may not be switched on auto-
matically if there is fog, snow or other causes
of poor visibility such as spray. 
In such cases, turn the light switch to
L. The automatic driving lights are only an aid. You
ar
e responsible for vehicle lighting.

Activating/deactivating the hazard warning lights

Press button 1.
The hazard warning lights will switch on automati-
call y if:
= the airbag has been deployed.
= the vehicle is braked heavily from a speed of
more than 70 km/h to a standstill. When you pull away again, the hazard warning
light sy

stem will switch oM automatically at
approximately 10 km/h. You can also switch oM
the hazard warning light system using button 1. Adaptive functions, MULTIBEAM LED
Intelligent Light System function
The MUL

TIBEAM LED headlamps adapt to the
driving and weather situation and provide exten-
ded functions for improved illumination of the
road.
The system comprises the following functions:
= Active headlamps (  page 146)
= Cornering light (  page 147)
= Motorway mode (  page 147)
= City lighting ( page 147)
= OM-road light ( page 147)
System limits = The system is active only when it is dark. Active headlamps function
=
The headlam
ps follow the steering move-
ments.
= Relevant areas are better illuminated during a
journey.
The functions are active when the high beam is
switched on. 146
Light and sight

Cornering light function
The cornering light improves the illumination of
t
he carriageway over a wide angle in the turning
direction, enabling better visibility on tight bends,
for example. The cornering light is activated only
when the low beam is switched on.
The function is active in the following cases:
= At speeds below 40 km/h when the turn sig-
nal light is switched on or the steering wheel
is turned
= At speeds between 40 km/h and 70 km/h
and when the steering wheel is turned Roundabout and junction function:
t
he cornering
light will be activated on both sides based on an
evaluation of the vehicle's current GPS position. It
will remain active until aser the vehicle has les
the roundabout or the junction.
Motorway mode function
Motorway mode increases the range and bright-
ness of the cone of light, enabling better visibility. The function will be active if a motorway journey
is de

tected by means of:
= the vehicle's speed
= the multifunction camera
= the GPS The function is not active in the following cases:
= at speeds belo

w 80 km/h
The city lighting function
City lighting improves the illumination of roadsides
in urban areas using a broad distribution of light.
The function is active in the following cases:
= At low speeds
= In illuminated parts of urban areas
Function of the oM-road light
The oM-road light improves illumination during oM-
road driving. The low beam is distributed symmet-
rically and across a wide angle. This makes it eas-
ier to Nnd your way when driving oM-road and to
detect obstacles at an early stage. The active
headlamps are deactivated during this time so
that steering movements do not change the illumi-
nation.
The function is active when the low beam is
switched on if you are not driving at a speed
greater than 50 km/h and the ) ( OMroad)
drive program has been selected. Light and sight

WARNING Risk of accident despit
e Adap-
tive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not react to:
= r

oad users without lights, e.g. pedestrians
= road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
= road users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may fail to recognise other road users with their own lighting, or may recognise them
t
oo late.
In these, or in similar situations, the automatic
high beam will not be deactivated or will be
activated despite the presence of other road
users. 
Always observe the road and tr
aPc con-
ditions carefully and switch oM the high
beam in good time. Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account r

oad, weather or traPc conditions.
Detection may be restricted in the following
cases:
= in poor visibility, e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
= if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting to
the prevailing light, visibility and traPc conditions. Adaptive Highbeam Assist automatically switches
be

tween the following types of light:
= Low beam
= High beam
At speeds greater than 30 km/h:
= If no other road users are detected, the high
beam will switch on automatically. 148
Light and sight

The high beam will switch
oM aut omatically in the
following cases:
= At speeds below 25 km/h
= If other road users are detected
= If street lighting is suPcient
