Adaptiv eHighbeam Assist
General notes
Yo uc an us ethisf unctio ntoset the headlamps
to change between lo wbeama nd high beam
automatically. The system recognizes vehicles
with thei rlights on, either approaching from the
opposite direction or traveling in front of your
vehicle, and consequentlys witches the head-
lamps from high beam to lo wbeam. Once the
system no longer detects any otherv ehicles, it
reactivates the high-bea mheadlamps.
The system's optica lsensor is locate dbehin d
the windshield nea rthe overhead controlp anel.
Important safety notes
GWARNING

Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, alwaysu se
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash.

!Vehicles with arain sensor: if the windshield
becomes dirty in dry weather conditions, the
windshield wipers may be activated inadver-
tently. This could then damage the windshield
wiper blades or scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should alwayss witch off
the windshield wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with arain sensor: in the ÄorÅ
position, the appropriate wiping frequency is
automatically set accordingtot he intensity of
the rain. In the Åposition, the rain sensor is
more sensitive than in the Äposition, caus-
ing the windshield wiper to wipe more fre-
quently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield will
no longer be wiped properly. This could prevent
you from observing the traffic conditions.

Distance Pilot DISTRONIC
General notes
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC regulates the speed
and automatically helps you maintain the dis-
tanc etot he vehicle detected in front. Vehicles
are detected with the aid of the radar sensor
system. Distance Pilot DISTRONIC brakes auto-
matically to avoid exceedingt he set speed or to
maintain the designated distanc efrom the vehi-
cle in front.
If Distance Pilot DISTRONIC detect sthat there is
ar isk of acollision, you will be warned visually
and acoustically. Without your intervention, Dis-
tanc ePilot DISTRONIC cannot prevent acolli-
sion. An intermittent warning ton ewill then
sound and the distanc ewarning lamp will light
up in the instrument cluster. Brake immediately
in order to increase the distanc etothe vehicle in
frontort ake evasive action provided it is safe to
do so.
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC operates in the range
between 0mph (0 km/h) and 120 mph
(200 km/h).
Change into alower gear in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients .This is especially
importan tifthe vehicle is laden. By doing so, you
will make use of the braking effect of the engine.
This relieves the load on the brake system and
preventst he brakes from overheatin gand wear-
ing too quickly.
Do not use Distance Pilot DISTRONIC on roads
with steep gradients.
For Distance Pilot DISTRONIC to assist you
when driving, the radar sensor system must be
operational.
Sinc eDistance Pilot DISTRONIC transmits radar
waves, it can resemble the radar detectors of
the responsible authorities. You can refer to the
relevant chapter in the Operator' sManual if
questions are asked about this.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC does not react to:
Rpeople or animals

As aresult, Distance Pilot DISTRONIC may
neither give warnings nor intervene in such
situations. There is arisk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit- uation and be ready to brake.
GWARNING
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC cannot always
clearly identif yother road users and complex
traffic situations.
In such cases, Distance Pilot DISTRONIC may:
Rgive an unnecessary warning and then
brake the vehicle
