With the electronic key removed and the driver’s door
open, a warning sounds and the message “SWITCH OFF
LIGHTS” in the multifunction indicator appears if the
vehicle’s exterior lamps (except standing lamps) are not
switched off.
Fog lamps will operate with the parking lamps and / or
the low beam headlamps on. Fog lamps should only be
used in conjunction with low beam headlamps. Consult
your State or Province Motor Vehicle Regulations
regarding allowable lamp operation.
Fog lamps are automatically switched off when the
exterior lamp switch is turned to position D.Daytime running lamps (Canada only)
When the engine is running and the selector lever is in
a driving position, the low beam headlamps (includes
parking lamps, side marker lamps, taillamps and
license plate lamps) are automatically switched on.
When shifting from a driving position to position “N”
or “P”, the low beam switches off (2 seconds delay).
For nighttime driving the exterior lamp switch should
be turned to position B to permit activation of the
high beam headlamps.
Night security illumination
When exiting the vehicle after driving with the exterior
lamps on, they switch on again for added illumination
for approximately 30 seconds after closing the last door.
The lamp-on time period can be changed at your
Mercedes-Benz Center.

down). The switch is automatically canceled when the
steering wheel is turned to a large enough degree.

system f lashes and sounds at a faster than normal rate.

Using a carpenter’s level, align and mark a vertical
centerline (8) on the test screen using the vertex of
the angle formed in each beam image. As a check,
the distance between centerlines should be
49
1/4 inches (1250 mm). If the distance does not
check, have the system verified at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.3. (Low beams off):
Measure the vertical height from the floor to
reference point (10) on high beam lens. Subtract
approx. 2 inches (53 mm) from measurement, and
mark a horizontal centerline (9) on the test screen at
the resulting height from the floor. It must be at a
90°angle to the vertical centerline.
