he headlamps are automatically
adjusted when the vehicle crosses the border into
countries in which traPc drives on the other side
of the road. They retain their full functionality. If
necessary, the headlamps can also be adjusted
manually in the Low beam menu ( page 151).
In the following cases, check the headlamp set-
ting and change it manually if necessary: = If the Low beam setting (left/right-side traf-
fic) Manual adjustment only display message
is displayed.
= If the Check low beam setting (left/right-
side traffic) display message is displayed.
Following manual adjustment: = Oncoming traPc will not be dazzled.
= The edge of the road will not be illuminated as
far or as high.
= The "motorway mode" and "enhanced fog
light" functions will not be available. Information about lighting systems and your
r
esponsibility The various lighting systems of the vehicle are

lamp button. Adaptive functions of the DIGITAL LIGHT

qInt
elligent 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 the
road.
The system comprises the following functions:
= Active headlamps (  page 143)
= Cornering light (  page 144)
= Motorway mode (  page 144)
= Enhanced fog light function ( page 144)
= Bad weather light ( page 145)
= City lighting ( page 145)
= OM-road light ( page 145)
= Topographical compensation ( page 145) The system is active only when it is dark.

qA

ctive 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
adjust the light in advance. Light and sight
143

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
= At speeds between 40 km/h and 70 km/h
and when the steering wheel is turned Roundabout and junction function: t

he 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
= the multifunction camera
= the navigation system The function is not active in the following cases:
= at speeds belo

w 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. 144
Light and sight

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 areas of 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

qFunction of the oM-road light
The oM-road light improves illumination during oM-
road driving. The low beam is distributed symmet-
rically and across a wide angle, and brightness is
increased slightly. This makes it easier to Nnd your
way when driving oM road and to detect obstacles at an early stage. The active headlamps will be
deactiv
ated during this time so that steering
movements do not change the illumination.
The function is active when the low beam is
switched on if you are not driving at a speed
greater than 50 km/h and the F ( OMroad)
drive program has been selected.

qFunction 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.
% Only vehicles with a multimedia system with
na
vigation have this function.

qAssis
tance 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.
% The availability of the functions is dependent
on t
he country. %
The assistance functions of the DIGITAL
LIGHT ar

e available on-demand (  page 22).
The system is active in the following cases:
= The light switc

h is in the X position.
= The high beam is switched on.
% Depending on the country in which you are
cur
rently driving, certain functions may be
disabled due to diMerent legal requirements,
even if they are enabled in the multimedia
system. When a border is crossed, the vehicle
will automatically adapt to the valid require-
ments.
Spotlight Light and sight
145

The spotlight function runs in the background and
Oashes t
he headlamps at detected persons within
the lane markings in four short bursts. The driver
is also made aware of the position of the person
by a symbol projection.
The function is active under the following condi-
tions:
= You are driving outside illuminated areas.
= The system detects a lane marking.
Warnings If TraPc
Sign Assist detects a corresponding sit-
uation, a triangle will be projected onto the road
in the following situations at speeds of at least
30 km/h:
= You are driving in the opposite direction to the
permissible direction of travel, e.g. on a
motorway slip road.
= You are driving towards a stop sign without
reducing your speed.
= You are driving towards a red traPc light with-
out reducing your speed.
Observe the system limitations of TraPc Sign
Assist (  page 272). Notes If T
raPc
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.
= When you drive through a roadworks zone,
guide lines will be projected onto the road that
roughly match the width of the vehicle. The
guide lines will be suppressed for a while on
tight bends. 146

leas
t 30 km/h, a collision warning symbol will be
projected onto the road.
Observe the system limitations of Active Brake
Assist ( page 265).
Lane change warning During assisted lane changes at speeds of at least
30 km/h

, the course of the lane change will be
brightened. This enables you to identify possible
dangers in the new lane at an early stage.
Observe the system limitations of Active Lane
Change Assist ( page 262). Lane keeping and blind spot warning
At speeds of at least 30 km/h, a triangle that indi-
cat

es a lane correction and its direction will be
projected onto the road in the following cases:
= The lane is les unintentionally.
