qInt
elligent Light System function
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 129)
= Cornering light (  page 129)
= Motorway mode (  page 130)
= Enhanced fog light function ( page 130) =
Bad w
eather light ( page 130)
= City lighting ( page 130)
The system is active only when it is dark.

qActive headlamps function =
The headlam
ps 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 be evaluated and the active headlamps function will
adjus

t the light in advance.

qCornering 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 will be activated
only when low beam is switched on.
The function will be 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 Light and sight
129

=
A t 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 junction.

qMotorway 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 =
t
he multifunction camera
= the navigation system
The function is not active in the following cases:
= at speeds below 80 km/h

qEnhanced 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
f
ollowing conditions:
= At speeds below 70 km/h and when the rear
fog light is switched on. The function is automatically deactivated under
t
he following conditions:
= When speeds greater than 100 km/h are
reached.
= When the rear fog light is switched oM.

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

qThe 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

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
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
user

s. 
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. 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
% The system's optical sensor is located behind
t
he windscreen near the overhead control
panel.

hes between the following types of light:
= Low beam
= Partial high beam
= High beam
= ULTRA RANGE Highbeam ULTRA RANGE Highbeam increases the bright-
ness of t

he 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. Highly
reOective signs are also illuminated with reduced
brightness.
At speeds below 25 km/h or when there is suP-
cient street lighting:
= Partial high beam and high beam will be
switched oM automatically.
At speeds greater than 30 km/h: = If no other road users are detected, high beam
will switch on automatically.
= If other road users are detected, partial high
beam will switch on automatically.
at speeds below 40 km/h: = The ULTRA RANGE Highbeam will switch oM
automatically. At speeds above 50 km/h:
= If no o
ther road users are detected, the road is
straight and it is not raining heavily, the ULTRA
RANGE Highbeam will be switched on auto-
matically.
= If other road users are detected, the ULTRA
RANGE Highbeam will automatically switch oM
and the partial high beam will switch on.
= If highly reOective signs are detected, ULTRA
RANGE Highbeam will be switched oM auto-
matically.
