Always stow objects so that they cannot
be thrown around in such situations.Always make sure that objects do not
protrude from stowage spaces, parcel
nets or stowage nets.Close the lockable stowage spaces before starting a journey.Always stow and secure heavy, hard,
pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky
objects in the trunk/cargo compart-
ment.Observe the notes on loading the vehicle.&WARNING Risk of Nre from placing objects
in the mobile phone storage compartment
Placing other objects in the mobile phone storage compartment could constitute a Nre
hazard.
Apart from a mobile phone, do not place
any other objects in the mobile phone
storage compartment, especially those
made of metal.*NOTE Damage to objects caused by plac-
ing them in the mobile phone storage
compartment
If objects are placed in the mobile phone stor-
age compartment, these may be damaged by
electromagnetic Nelds.
Do not place credit cards, storage
media, ski passes or other objects sensi-
tive to electromagnetic Nelds in the
mobile phone storage compartment.*NOTE Damage to the mobile phone stow-
age compartment caused by liquids
If liquids enter the mobile phone stowage
compartment, the compartment may be dam-
aged.
Ensure that no liquids enter the mobile phone stowage compartment.
= Depending on the vehicle equipment, the
mobile phone is connected to the vehicle\bs exterior antenna via the charging module.
= The charging function and wireless connection
of the mobile phone to the vehicle\bs exterior
antenna are only available if the vehicle is
switched on.
= It may not be possible to charge small mobile
phones in every part of the mobile phone
stowage compartment.
= It may not be possible to charge large mobile
phones that do not rest Oat in the mobile
phone stowage compartment or connect them to the vehicle\bs exterior antenna.
= The mobile phone may heat up during the
charging process. This depends on the appli-
cations (apps) currently running.
The mobile phone can be cooled in the mobile
phone stowage compartment when the air
conditioning system is switched on. The cool-
ing output in the mobile phone stowage com-
partment is highest when the controller in the glove compartment is closed.
= To ensure more ePcient charging and connec-
tion with the vehicle\bs exterior antenna, remove the protective cover from the mobileSeats and stowing127

phone. Protective covers that are designed for
wireless charging are excluded.
= When charging, the mat should be used if pos-
sible.

Information about lighting systems and yourresponsibility
The various lighting systems of the vehicle are
only 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.

Always park your vehicle safely using suPcient
lighting, in accordance with the relevant legal stipulations.*NOTE Battery discharging by operating the
standing lights
Operating the standing lights over a period of
hours puts a strain on the battery.
Where possible, switch on the right d
or les c parking light.
If the battery is insuPciently charged, the side
lamps or parking lights will be switched oM auto-
matically to facilitate the next engine start.
Light and visibility129

The exterior lighting (except side lamps and park-
ing lights) will switch oM automatically when the
driver\bs door is opened.
= Observe the notes on surround lighting
(  page 137).

q Automatic driving lights function
When the vehicle is switched on, the side lamps,
low beam and daytime running lamps will be
switched on automatically depending on the ambi- ent light.&WARNING Risk of accident when the low
beam is switched oM in poor visibility
When the light switch is set to X, the low
beam may not be switched on automatically if
there is fog, snow or other causes of poor visi-
bility such as spray.
In such cases, turn the light switch to
X .The automatic driving lights are only an aid. You
are responsible for the vehicle lighting.
q Switching the rear fog light on/oM

Adaptive functions, MULTIBEAM LED

qIntelligent Light System function (Canada)
The MULTIBEAM 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 132)
= Cornering light (  page 132)
= Highway mode (  page 133)
= Enhanced fog light function (  page 133)
= Bad weather light (  page 133)
= City lighting (  page 133)
The system is active only when it is dark.

q Active headlamps function
=
The headlamps follow the steering move-
ments.
= Relevant areas are better illuminated during a
journey.
The functions are active when the low beam is
switched on.
Depending on the vehicle\bs equipment, the course of the lane in which you are driving will also beevaluated and the active headlamps function will
adjust the light in advance.

q Cornering light function
The cornering light improves the illumination of
the road over a wide angle in the turning direc-
tion, enabling better visibility on tight bends, for
example. The cornering light will be activated only when low beam is switched on.
The function will be active in the following cases:
= At speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h) when the
turn signal light is switched on or the steeringwheel is turned
= At speeds between 25 mph (40 km/h) and
43 mph (70 km/h) and when the steering
wheel is turned
132Light and visibility

TraPc circle and intersection function: the corner-
ing light will be activated on both sides based on an evaluation of the vehicle\bs current navigation
position. It will remain active until aser the vehicle
has les the traPc circle or intersection.

q Highway mode function (Canada)
Highway mode increases the range and bright-
ness of the cone of light, enabling better visibility.
The function will be active if a highway journey is
detected by means of:
= the vehicle\bs speed
= the multifunction camera
= the navigation system
The function is not active in the following cases:
= at speeds below 50 mph (80 km/h)

q Enhanced fog light function (Canada)
The enhanced fog light function reduces self-glare
and improves the illumination of the edge of the
road.
The function is automatically activated under the following conditions:
= At speeds below 43 mph (70 km/h) and when
the rear fog light is switched on.
The function is automatically deactivated underthe following conditions:
= When speeds greater than 62 mph
(100 km/h) are reached.
= When the rear fog light is switched oM.

q Function of the bad weather light (Canada)
The bad weather light reduces reOections in rainy
conditions by dimming individual LEDs in the headlamps. The driver and other road users aredazzled less as a result.

q The city lighting function (Canada)
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

Adaptive Highbeam Assist

qAdaptive Highbeam Assist function
&WARNING Risk of accident despite Adap-
tive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not react to:
= Road 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 recognize other road users with their own lighting, or may recognize them
too 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 traPc con-
ditions carefully and switch oM the high
beam in good time.Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, 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\bs lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traPc conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist automatically switches
between the following types of light:
= Low beam
= High beam
At speeds greater than 19 mph (30 km/h):
= If no other road users are detected, the high
beam will switch on automatically.
