tLight System
General notes The Intelligent Light System is
asystem 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, cornering light function, motorway mode, extended range
foglamps and off-road lights. 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 247).
Active light function The active light function is
asystem that moves
the headlamps according to the steerin gmove-
mentsoft he 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.
Cornering light function The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over
awide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better visi-
bility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the dipped-beam headlamps are
switched on.
Active:
R if you are driving at speeds below 40 km/h
and switch on the turn signal or turn the steer- ing wheel
R if you are driving at speeds between 40 km/h
and 70 km/ha nd turnthe steering wheel
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
shor ttime, but is automatically switched off
after no mor ethant hree minutes. Motorwa

movements for at least 1000 morify ou are
driving at aspee dabov e130 km/h.
Not active: if you are driving at speeds below
80 km/h followin gactivation.
Extended range foglamps The extended range foglamps reduc
ethe glare
experienced by th edriver and improve th eillu-
minatio noftheedge of th ecarriageway.
Active: if you are driving at speeds below
70 km/h and you switch on th erear foglamp.
Not active: if, followingactivation ,you are driv-
ing at speeds abov e100 km/h or if you switch
off th erear foglamp. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If windscreen washer concentrate comes into contact with hot components of the engine or
the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
risk of fire and injury.
Make sure the windscreen washer concen-
trated oes not come into contact with the filler
neck.
! Only use washer fluid that is suitable for
plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB
WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid could dam-
age the plastic lenses of the headlamps.
! Only the washer fluids SummerFit and Win-
terFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the spraying
nozzles could become blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionised water as the
level sensor may be triggered erroneously.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor- tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 371).
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB SummerFit.
Mix 1part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correc tmixing ratio refer to the infor-
mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
year round. Vehicle data
