Useful information
iThis Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip- ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.
iRead the information on qualified special-
ist workshops ( Ypage 24).
Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switchedon even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations.
Setting the exterior lighting
Setting options
Exterior lighting can be set using: R the light switch
R the combination switch ( Ypage 106)
Light switch
Operation
1 WLeft-hand standing lamps
2XRight-hand standing lamps
3 TParking lamps, license plate and
instrument cluster lighting
4ÃAutomatic headlamp mode, control-
led by the light sensor
5 LLow-beam/high-beam headlamps
B RRear fog lamp
CNFog lamp (only vehicles with front
fog lamps)
If you hear a warning tone when you leave the
vehicle, the lights may still be switched on. X Turn the light switch to Ã.
The exterior lighting (except the parking/
standing lamps) switches off automatically ifyou: R remove the SmartKey from the ignition lock
R open the driver's door with the SmartKey in
position 0
Automatic headlamp mode à is the favored light switch setting. The
light setting is automatically selected accord- ing to the brightness of the ambient light
(exception: poor visibility due to weather con-
ditions such as fog, snow or spray):
R SmartKey in position 1in the ignition lock:

automatically depending on the brightnessof the ambient light.
R With the engine running: if you have acti-
vated the "Daytime running lamps" func-
tion via the on-board computer, the day-
time running lamps or the parking lamps
and the low-beam headlamps are switched
on or off automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
X To switch on automatic headlamp
mode: turn the light switch to Ã.
GWARNING
When the light switch is set to Ã, the low-
beam headlamps may not be switched on
automatically if there is fog, snow or other
causes of poor visibility due to the weather
conditions such as spray. There is a risk of an
accident.
In such situations, turn the light switch to L .
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid. The driver is responsible for the vehicle's lighting at all times.
The daytime running lamps improve the visi-
bility of your vehicle during the day. The day- time running lamps function is required by lawin Canada. It cannot therefore be deactivated.
When the engine is running and the vehicle is
stationary: if you move the selector lever from a drive position to P, the daytime running
lamps/low-beam headlamps go out after
three minutes.
When the engine is running, the vehicle is
stationary and in bright ambient light: if you
turn the light switch to T, you turn on the
daytime running lamps and parking lamps.
If the engine is running and you turn the light
switch to L, the manual settings take
precedence over the daytime running lamps.
Low-beam headlamps
Even if the light sensor does not detect that it is dark, the parking lamps and low-beam
headlamps switch on when the ignition is
switched on and the light switch is set to the L
position. This is a particularly useful
function in the event of rain and fog. X To switch on the low-beam headlamps:
turn the SmartKey in the ignition lock to
position 2or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to L.
The green Lindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.
Front fog lamps
In conditions where visibility is poor due to
fog, snow or rain, the fog lamps improve vis-
ibility as well as making it easier for other road
users to see you. They can be operated
together with the parking lamps or together
with the parking lamps and low-beam head-
lamps. X To switch on the front fog lamps: turn
the SmartKey in the ignition lock to position 2 or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to Lorà .
X Press the Nbutton.
The green Nindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.
X To switch off the front fog lamps: press
the N button.
The green Nindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out.
Rear fog lamp
The rear fog lamp improves visibility of your
vehicle for the traffic behind in the event of
thick fog. Please take note of the country-
specific regulations for the use of rear fog
lamps. X To switch on the rear fog lamps: turn the
SmartKey to position 2in the ignition lock
or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to Lorà .

according to legal standards. Avoid the
continuous use of the Tparking lamps
for several hours. If possible, switch on theX right or the Wleft standing lamp.
X To switch on: turn the light switch to T.
The green Tindicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.

In very rare cases, Adaptive Highbeam Assistmay fail to recognize other road users that
have lights, or may recognize them too late. In
this or similar situations, the automatic high-
beam headlamps will not be deactivated or
activated regardless. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and switch off the high-beam headlamps in
good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You
are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's
lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and
traffic conditions.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be restricted if there is: R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R dirt on the sensors or the sensors are obscured

bulbs of the same type and the specified volt-
age.
Marks on the glass tube reduce the service
life of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube
with your bare hands. If necessary, clean the glass tube when cold with alcohol or spirit and
rub it off with a lint-free cloth.
Protect bulbs from moisture during opera-
tion. Do not allow bulbs to come into contact
with liquids.
Replace only the bulbs listed ( Ypage 110).
Have the bulbs that you cannot replace your-
self changed at a qualified specialist work- shop.
If you require assistance changing bulbs, con- sult a qualified specialist workshop.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult
a qualified specialist workshop.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.
Vehicles with LED headlamps: the light
clusters of your vehicle are equipped with
LED light bulbs. Do not replace the bulbs
yourself. Contact a qualified specialist work-
shop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the workrequired.
