Exterior lighting
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 parking
lamp or parking lights will be switched oM auto-
matically to facilitate the next engine start.
136Light and visibility

The exterior lighting (except standing and parking
lights) will switch oM automatically when the driv-
er\bs door is opened.
= Observe the notes on locator lighting
(  page 146).

q Automatic driving lights function
When the vehicle is switched on, the standing
lights, low beam and daytime running lights 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.

the direction of arrow 2 or 4.
Vehicles with Active Lane Change Assist:
= A turn signal indicator activated by the
driver may continue to operate for the
duration of the lane change.

Adaptive functions of the DIGITAL LIGHT

qIntelligent Light System function
With this system, the headlamps adapt to the driv- ing and weather situation. It also provides exten-ded functions for improved illumination of theroad.
\bThe availability of the functions is dependenton the country.
The system comprises the following functions:
= Active headlamps (  page 139)
= Cornering light (  page 140)
= Highway mode (  page 140)
= Enhanced fog light function (  page 140)
= Bad weather light (  page 141)
= City lighting (  page 141)
= Topographical compensation (  page 141)
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.
Light and visibility139

qCornering 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
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.
140Light and visibility

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 areas of 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

q Function of the topographical compensation
Based on available map data, the lighting system responds pre-emptively to diMerent road heights.
This means that the headlamp range remains vir-
tually constant when you are driving on uphill or downhill gradients.\bOnly vehicles with a multimedia system withnavigation have this function.

q Assistance functions of the DIGITAL LIGHT
DIGITAL LIGHT visually expands on the driver assistance systems by projecting the assistant
displays in front of the vehicle while it is in
motion. DIGITAL LIGHT can therefore help the
driver in critical situations.
\bThe availability of the functions is dependent on the country.\bThe assistance functions of the DIGITAL
LIGHT are available on-demand (  page 27).
The system will be active in the following cases:
= The light switch is in the X position.
= High beam is switched on.
\bDepending on the country in which you are
currently driving, certain functions may be
disabled due to diMerent legal requirements,
even if they are enabled in the multimedia
system. When you cross a border, the vehicle
will automatically adapt to the applicable requirements.Spotlight
The spotlight function runs in the background and
Oashes the headlamps in four short bursts at per-
sons detected within the lane markings. You will also be made aware of the position of the person by a projected symbol.
The function will be active in the following circum-
stances:
= You are driving outside illuminated areas.
= The system detects a lane marking.

Notes
If TraPc Sign Assist detects a roadworks zone,
the system will provide support as follows:
= A corresponding symbol will be projected onto
the road when you enter a roadworks zone.
Observe the system limitations of TraPc Sign
Assist (  page 241).
Collision warning
If you fall below the safe distance at speeds of at
least 19 mph (30 km/h), a collision warning sym-
bol will be projected onto the road.
Observe the system limitations of Active Brake
Assist (  page 236).
Lane change warning
During assisted lane changes at speeds of at least
19 mph (30 km/h), the course of the lane change
will Oash.
Observe the system limitations of Active Lane
Change Assist (  page 234).
