Notes on adjusting the lights when driving abroad
If the automatic setting is selected in the
Low
beam menu, t
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 179).
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
onl

y 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. Light switch

Activating/deactivating the hazard warning lights

Press button 1.
The hazard warning lights will switch on automati-
call y if:
= the airbag has been deployed.
= the vehicle is braked heavily from a speed of
more than 70 km/h to a standstill. When you pull away again, the hazard warning
light sy

stem will switch oM automatically at
approximately 10 km/h. You can also switch oM
the hazard warning light system using the warning
lamp button. Adaptive functions MULTIBEAM LED and DIGITAL
LIGHT Intelligent Light System function
In t

his 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 173)
= Cornering light (  page 174)
= Motorway mode (  page 174)
= Enhanced fog light function ( page 174)
= Bad weather light ( page 175)
= City lighting ( page 175)
= Topographical compensation (vehicles with
DIGITAL LIGHT) (  page 175) The system is active only when it is dark.
A

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
173

Cornering 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 is activated only
when the low beam 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:
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 the junction.
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 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
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
f
ollowing conditions:
= At speeds below 70 km/h and when the rear
fog light is switched on. 174
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.
Function 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.
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
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. %
Only vehicles with a multimedia system with
na vigation have this function.
Assistance functions of the DIGITAL LIGHT
DIGIT
AL 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 DIGITAL LIGHT
ar
e available on demand (  page 26).
The system will be active in the following cases: = The light switc

h is in the X position.
= High beam is switched on.
% If you activate the head-up display with aug-
ment
ed reality, the projections can be deacti-
vated depending on the situation.
% 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 you cross a border, the vehicle will automatically adapt to the applicable
r
equirements.
Spotlight The spotlight function runs in the background and
Oashes t

he headlamps in four short bursts at per-
sons detected within the lane markings. You will
be made aware of the position of oncoming
pedestrians 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. Light and sight

Warnings
If TraPc
Sign Assist detects a corresponding sit-
uation, a triangle will be projected onto the road
in the following cases 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
T
raPc Sign
Assist (  page 291).
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 that roughly match the width of the
vehicle will be projected onto the road. The
guide lines will be switched oM temporarily on
tight bends. Observe the system limitations of
T
raPc Sign
Assist ( page 291).

tive Highbeam Assist Plus
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not react
t
o:
= 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. 
Always observe the road and tr
aPc con-
ditions carefully and switch oM the high
beam in good time. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus 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 Plus is only an aid. You
are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting
to the prevailing light, visibility and traPc condi-
tions. Light and sight
