▷After approximately eight minutes.▷When locking via the central locking sys‐
tem.▷Shortly before the battery is discharged so
that an engine start remains possible.
Radio readiness remains active when ignition
is switched off automatically, such as for
following reasons:
▷Opening or closing driver's door.▷Unfastening driver's seat belt.▷When low-beam headlights are automati‐
cally changed to side lights.
If engine is switched off and ignition is
switched on, radio ready state will be automati‐
cally activated when door is opened if light is
switched off or daytime driving lights are
switched on, when corresponding equipment
is fitted.
Engine start Notes DANGER
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate
ventilation can allow harmful exhaust fumes to
penetrate the vehicle. The exhaust gas con‐
tains carbon monoxide, which is colourless and
odourless, but highly toxic. In enclosed spaces,
the exhaust fumes can also build up outside
the vehicle. Danger of fatal injury. Keep the ex‐
haust pipe clear and ensure sufficient ventila‐
tion.◀
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can start moving
and rolling away. Danger of accidents. Before
leaving the vehicle, secure it to prevent rolling
away.
Observe the following to ensure that the vehi‐
cle is secured against rolling away:
▷Engage the parking brake.▷Turn the front wheels into the direction of
the kerb on upward or downward gradi‐
ents.▷Additionally secure the vehicle on upward
or downward gradients, e.g. using a
wedge.◀
ATTENTION
Repeated start attempts or starting sev‐
eral times in quick succession means that fuel
is not combusted, or insufficiently so. The cat‐
alytic converter can overheat. Danger of dam‐
age to property. Avoid starting more than once
in quick succession.◀

System limits
The automatic driving lights control is no sub‐
stitute for your individual judgement of when it
is necessary to switch on the lights.
The sensors are unable, for instance, to recog‐
nise fog or hazy weather. In such situations,
switch on the lights manually to avoid any
safety risk.
Daytime driving lights Switch position:
,
The daytime driving lights illuminate with the
ignition switched on.
Activating/deactivating
In some countries daytime driving lights are
compulsory, which is why the daytime driving
lights cannot be deactivated.
On the Control Display:
1."Settings"2."Lights"3."Daytime driving lights"
The setting is saved for the currently used pro‐
file.
Adaptive HeadlightsPrinciple
Adaptive Headlights is a variable headlight
control system that makes it possible to illumi‐
nate the road surface responsively.
The beams from the headlights follow the road
ahead on the basis of the steering angle and
other parameters.
Depending on the speed, the variable light dis‐
tribution ensures even better illumination of
the roadway.
The light distribution is automatically adapted
to the speed. The city light is switched on if the
speed of 50 km/h, approx. 30 mph is not ex‐
ceeded while accelerating or if the speed of
40 km/h, approx. 25 mph is undercut while
braking. The motorway light is switched on at a speed higher than 110 km/h, 68 mph after ap‐
proximately 30 seconds or as of a speed of
140 km/h, 87 mph.
Activating Switch position
with the ignition switched
on.
So as not to dazzle oncoming vehicles, the
adaptive cornering light does not swivel to the
driver's side when stationary.
A cornering light is activated automatically de‐
pending on the steering angle or use of the
turn indicators.
The cornering light may be switched on when
driving in reverse, irrespective of the steering
angle.
Malfunction
A Check Control message is displayed.
Adaptive Headlights are faulty or have failed.
Have the system checked as soon as possible.
High-beam assistance
Principle When low-beam headlights are switched on,this system automatically switches the high-
beam headlights on and off or fades out the
areas which dazzle oncoming vehicles. This
process is controlled by a camera on the front
of the rear-view mirror. It ensures that the
high-beam headlights are switched on when‐
ever the traffic situation allows. You can also
control the lights yourself at any time and
switch them on and off as usual. The high-
beam headlights are not switched on by the
system in the low speed range.

Activating1.Depending on equipment, turn the light
switch to position
or .
2.Press the button on the turn indicator
lever, arrow.
The indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated.
When the low-beam headlights are on, the
beam is dipped and returned to full beam auto‐
matically.
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate lighting, for example in built-up
areas.
The blue indicator light in the instru‐
ment cluster illuminates if the high
beam is switched on by the system.
Depending on the version of the system instal‐
led in the vehicle, the high-beam lights may
not be switched off for oncoming vehicles, but
only the areas which dazzle the oncoming ve‐
hicles are faded out. In this case, the blue indi‐
cator light continues to illuminate.
Raising and dipping manually▷High-beam headlights on, arrow 1.▷High-beam headlights off/headlight flasher,
arrow 2.
The high beam assistance can be deactivated
by manually raising and dipping.
To reactivate high-beam assistance, press the
button on the turn indicator lever, see
page 101.
System limits
The high-beam assistance cannot replace the
personal decision to use the high-beam head‐
lights. Thus, dip manually in situations requir‐
ing such.
In the following situations, the system will not
operate or its operation will be impaired and
your intervention may be required:
▷During extremely unfavourable weather
conditions such as fog or heavy precipita‐
tion.▷When detecting poorly-lit road users such
as pedestrians, cyclists or horseback riders
or carts, and when trains or ships are close
to the road, or when game are passing
across the road.▷On narrow bends, steep uphill or downhill
gradients, at traffic junctions or if your view
of oncoming vehicles on a motorway is ob‐
structed.▷In poorly-lit towns and where there are very
reflective signs.Seite 101LightsControls101
