Vehicles with bi-xenon headlamps: the head-
lamps are cleaned automatically if the "Wipe
with washer fluid" function is operated five
times (Y page 108) while the lights are on and
the drive system is running. When you switch off the ignition, the automatic headlamp cleaning
system is reset and counting is resumed from 0. Hazard warning lamps

The hazard warning lamps switch on automati-
cally if:
R an airbag is deployed or
R the vehicle decelerates rapidly from a speed
of above 70 km/h and comes to a standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off automati-
cally if the vehicle reaches a speed of above
10 km/h again after a full brake application.
The hazard warning lamps continue to operate
even if the ignition is switched off. Intelligent Light System
General notes The Intelligent Light System is a system that
adjusts the headlamps automatically to suit the
prevailing driving and weather conditions. It
offers advanced functions for improved illumi-
nation of the road surface, e.g. depending on the vehicle speed or weather conditions. The sys-
tem includes the active light function, corneringlight function, motorway mode and extended
range foglamps. The system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent
Light System" function using the on-board com-
puter (Y page 187).
Active light function The active light function is a system that moves
the headlamps according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way, relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This allows you to recognise pedestrians,
cyclists and animals.
Active: when the lights are switched on.

High-voltage batteryDriving and parking

If, after the charging process, the charging cable
is:
R left connected to the power socket, the cur-
rently selected values will be used for the next
charging process.
R removed from the power socket, the values
will be reset to the minimum setting for the
next charging process. You may then need to reset the values of the maximum charge cur-
rent.
If the charge current values that have been set
on the charging cable and the on-board com-
puter are different, the high-voltage battery is
charged using the lower value.
If the vehicle requires more time than usual to
charge the high-voltage battery, check:

on the controls of the charging cable

Drive sensibly – save energy
Observe the following tips to save energy:
R The tyres should always be inflated to the rec-
ommended tyre pressure.
R Remove unnecessary loads.
R Remove roof racks when they are not needed.
R Avoid frequent acceleration or braking.
Energy consumption also increases when driv-
ing in low or high outside temperatures, in stop-
start traffic, on short journeys and in hilly ter-
rain. ECO display
The ECO display provides feedback on how eco-
nomical your driving characteristics are. The
ECO display assists you in achieving the most
economical driving style for the selected set-
tings and prevailing conditions. Consumption
can be significantly influenced by your driving
style.
The ECO display consists of three bars:
R Acceleration Acceleration
R Constant
Constant
R Coasting
Coasting
The percentage count is the mean value of the
three bar values. The three bars and the mean
value begin at the value of 50%. A higher per-
centage count indicates a more economical
driving style.
The ECO display does not indicate the actual fuel
consumption. A fixed percentage count in the
ECO display does not indicate a fixed consump- tion.
In addition to driving style, the consumption is
affected by many other factors, such as:
R load
R tyre pressure
R cold start
R choice of route
R the use of electrical consumers These factors are not included in the ECO dis-
play.
The evaluation of your driving style takes the
following three categories into consideration:
R Acceleration
Acceleration (evaluation of all acceleration
processes):
- the bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
especially at higher speeds
- the bar empties: sporty acceleration
R Constant Constant (assessment of driving behaviour
at all times:)
- the bar fills up: constant speed and avoid-
ance of unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration
- the bar empties: fluctuations in speed
R Coasting Coasting (assessment of all deceleration
processes):
- the bar fills up: anticipatory driving, keep-
ing your distance and early release of the
accelerator. The vehicle can coast without
use of the brakes.
- the bar empties: frequent braking
To achieve a higher value in the categories
Acceleration Acceleration andConstant
Constant, drive the vehicle
in drive program E+orE.
On long journeys at a constant speed, e.g. on the motorway, only the bar for Constant
Constant will
change.
The ECO display summarises the driving char-
acteristics from the start of the journey to its
completion. Therefore, there are dynamic
changes in the bars at the start of a journey.
During a prolonged driving time, these changes are smaller. For more dynamic changes, per-
form a manual reset.

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If you increase the recuperation level on slip- pery road surfaces, the drive wheels may lose
their traction. This increases the risk of skid-
ding and having an accident.
Do not increase the recuperation level on slip-
pery road surfaces. 148

General notes ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys such as on motorways
and trunk roads. It is active in the 60 km/h to
200 km/h speed range. If ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical indicators of fatigue or increas-
ing lapses in concentration on the part of the
driver, it suggests taking a break.
Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It may not
always detect fatigue or lapses in concentration
until too late, or may not detect them at all. The system is not a substitute for a well-rested and
attentive driver.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted, and warnings may be delayed or not
occur at all:
R if the length of the journey is less than approx-
imately 30 minutes
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the surface
is uneven or if there are potholes
R if there is a strong side wind
R if you have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of accel-
eration
R if you are predominantly driving at a speed
below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h
R if the time has been set incorrectly
R in active driving situations, such as when you
change lanes or change your speed
ATTENTION ASSIST is reset and starts assessing
your tiredness again when you continue your
journey if:
R you switch off the engine
R you take off your seat belt and open the driv-
er's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or to
take a break

Charge the high-voltage battery from a state of
charge of less than 20% at a:
R mains socket
R charging station
The braking performance of the electric motor
using recuperative braking is, in some operating
modes, either reduced or not effective:
R when the charge status of the high-voltage
battery increases
R if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
mal operating temperature
R when the vehicle is almost stationary
R in transmission position N
R during and after ESP stability control
If you do not make an additional effort to apply
the brake yourself, the braking effect may not be sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regenerative braking effect by applying the
brake yourself. Operating the on-board computer
