When low beam is activated, the 0060 indicator
lamp for the standing lights will be deactivated
and replaced by the 0058 low-beam indicator
lamp.
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 0064
or les 0063 parking light.
For vehicles that are wider than two metres or
longer than six metres, single-sided parking light-
ing is not permitted in some countries. In this
case, the standing lights are also switched on in
the parking lights position.
If the battery is insuPciently 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.

Adaptive functions of the DIGITAL LIGHT

q Intelligent Light System function
In this system, the headlamps adapt to the driving
and weather situation. It also provides extended
functions for improved illumination of the road.
The system comprises the following functions: = Active headlamps (  page 131)
= Cornering light (  page 132)
= Motorway mode (  page 132)
= Enhanced fog light function (  page 132)
= Bad weather light (  page 133)
= City lighting (  page 133)
= Topographical compensation (vehicles with
DIGITAL LIGHT) (  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's 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 sight131

qCornering light function
The cornering light improves the illumination of
the carriageway over a wide angle in the turning
direction, enabling better visibility on tight bends, for example. It can be activated only when the lowbeam 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: the cornering
light will be activated on both sides based on an evaluation of the vehicle's current navigation posi-
tion. It will remain active until aser the vehicle has
les the roundabout or the junction.

q 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 detected by means of:
= the vehicle's speed
= the multifunction camera
= the navigation system
The function is not active in the following cases:
= at speeds below 80 km/h

q Enhanced fog light function
The enhanced fog light function reduces self-daz-
zling and improves the illumination of the edge of
the carriageway.
The function is automatically activated under the following conditions:
= At speeds below 70 km/h and when the rear
fog light is switched on.
132Light and sight

The function is automatically deactivated underthe following conditions:
= When speeds greater than 100 km/h are
reached.
= When the rear fog light is switched oM.

q Function of the bad weather light
The bad weather light reduces reOections in rainy
conditions by dimming individual areas of the
headlamps. The driver and other road users are dazzled less as a result.

q 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

q Function of the topographical compensation
Based on map data, the lighting system responds
pre-emptively to diMerent road heights. This
means that the headlamp range remains virtually
constant when you are driving on uphill or down-
hill gradients.%Only vehicles with a multimedia system with navigation have this 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 recognise other road users with their own lighting, or may recognise themtoo 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's lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traPc conditions.Light and sight133

Adaptive Highbeam Assist automatically switches
between 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.
The high beam will switch oM automatically in the
following cases:
= At speeds below 25 km/h
= If other road users are detected
= If street lighting is suPcient%The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windscreen near the overhead control
panel.

q Switching Adaptive Highbeam Assist on/oM

tive Highbeam Assist Plus
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus 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 Plus may fail to recognise other road users with their own lighting, or may recognise
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.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus 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 Plus is only an aid. You are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traPc condi-
tions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus automatically
switches between the following types of light:
= Low beam
= Partial high beam
= High beam
= ULTRA RANGE Highbeam
ULTRA RANGE Highbeam increases the bright-
ness of the cone of light to the legally permitted
maximum.
Partial high beam does not include other road
users in the high beam area. It does not dazzle them but enables full high beam illumination for
the driver apart from the excluded vehicles.
At speeds below 25 km/h or when there is suP-
cient street lighting:
= The partial high beam and the high beam will
be switched oM automatically.
At speeds greater than 30 km/h: = If no other road users are detected, the high
beam will switch on automatically.
= If other road users are detected, the partial
high beam will switch on automatically.
At speeds above 40 km/h:
