MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS COUPE 2023 Owners Manual

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 126).

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
Requirements: = The light switch is in the X or X posi-
tion.Press button ^ .
Please observe the country-speciNc laws on the
use of rear fog lamps.

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.
= If the driver indicated directly beforehand
but a lane change was not immediately
possible, the turn signal indicator may acti-
vate automatically.Activating/deactivating the hazard warning lightsPress button 1.

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 121)
= Cornering light (  page 121)
= Highway mode (  page 122)
= Enhanced fog light function (  page 122)
= Bad weather light (  page 122)
= City lighting (  page 122)
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
Light and visibility121

TraPc circle and intersection function: the corner-
ing light will be activated on both sides based on an evaluation of the vehicle\bs current GPS posi-
tion. 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.
Light and visibility123

The high beam will switch oM automatically in the
following cases:
= At speeds below 16 mph (25 km/h)
= If other road users are detected
= If street lighting is suPcient\bThe system\bs optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control
panel.

q Switching Adaptive Highbeam Assist on/oM
Switching on
Turn the light switch to the X position.Switch on high beam using the combination
switch.
If Adaptive Highbeam Assist is activated, the

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. Highly
reOective signs are also illuminated with reduced
brightness.
At speeds below 16 mph (25 km/h) or when
there is suPcient street lighting:
= Partial high beam and high beam will be
switched oM automatically.
At speeds greater than 19 mph (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 25 mph (40 km/h):
= The ULTRA RANGE Highbeam will switch oM
automatically.At speeds above 31 mph (50 km/h):
= If no other road users are detected, the road is
straight and it is not raining heavily, the ULTRARANGE Highbeam will be switched on auto-
matically.
= If other road users are detected, partial high
beam will switch on automatically.
= If highly reOective signs are detected, ULTRA
RANGE Highbeam will be switched oM auto-
matically.\bThe system\bs optical sensor is located behind the windshield near the overhead control
panel.
