i The hazard warning lamps continue to oper-
ate 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 217). 108
Exterior lightingLights and windscreen wipers

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.
Cornering light function The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide 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/h and turn the steering wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
short time, but is automatically switched off
after no more than three minutes.
Motorway mode Active:
if you are driving at a speed above
110 km/h and do not make any large steering
movements for at least 1000 m or if you are
driving at a speed above 130 km/h.
Not active: if you are driving at speeds below
80 km/h following activation.
Extended range foglamps The extended range foglamps reduce the glare
experienced by the driver and improve the illu-
mination of the edge of the carriageway.
Active:
if you are driving at speeds below
70 km/h and you switch on the rear foglamp.
Not active: if, following activation, you are driv-
ing at speeds above 100 km/h or if you switch
off the rear foglamp. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
General notes With Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, you can
automatically switch between dipped-beam,
partial main-beam and main-beam headlamps.
Partial main-beam illumination is a form of illu-
mination whereby the main beam is directed
past other road users. Other road users are thus
kept out of the main beam. This prevents glare.
If there is a vehicle in front, for example, the
main-beam headlamps illuminate the areas to
its right and left, and the vehicle in front is illu-
minated by the dipped-beam headlamps.
The system automatically adapts the dipped-
beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system no
longer detects any other vehicles, it switches on the main-beam headlamps again.
If the main-beam or partial main-beam head-
lamps are causing too much reflection from traf-
fic signs, the lights are automatically dimmed
and glare for the driver caused by the reflections is thus avoided.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windscreen near the overhead control
panel.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not rec-
ognise road users:
R who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
In very rare cases, Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Plus may not recognise road users who do
have lights, or may recognise them too late. In this, or in similar situations, the automatic
main-beam headlamps will not be deactivated
or will be activated despite the presence of
other road users. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and switch off the main-beam headlamps in
good time. Exterior lighting
109Lights and windscreen wipers Z

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is only an aid.
You are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's
lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traf-
fic 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 if the sensors are
obscured

The _ indicator lamp in the multifunction
display lights up when it is dark and the light
sensor switches on the dipped-beam head-
lamps.
At speeds above approx. 25 km/h: the
headlamp range is automatically controlled
according to the distance to other road users.
At speeds above approx. 30 km/h:
R If no other road users are detected, the
main-beam headlamps are automatically
switched on.
R If other road users are detected, the partial
main-beam headlamps are automatically
switched on.
The K indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster also lights up.
At speeds below approx. 25 km/h or
when there is sufficient street lighting:
R The partial main-beam headlamps are
switched off automatically.
R The main-beam headlamps are switched off
automatically.
The K indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster goes out. The _indicator lamp in
the multifunction display remains lit.
X To switch off: move the combination switch
back to its normal position or move the light
switch to another position.
The _ indicator lamp in the multifunction
display goes out. Headlamps misted up on the inside
Certain climatic and physical conditions may

Switching the windscreen wipers on/
off
! Do not operate the windscreen wipers when
the windscreen is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windscreen can scratch the
glass if wiping takes place when the wind-
screen is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windscreen wipers in dry weather conditions, always
operate them using washer fluid.
! If the windscreen wipers leave smears on
the windscreen after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may be
due to wax or other residue. Clean the wind-
screen with washer fluid after an automatic
car wash. !
Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due to
optical influences and the windscreen becom-
ing dirty in dry weather conditions, the wind-
screen wipers may be activated inadvertently. This could damage the windscreen wiper
blades or scratch the windscreen.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windscreen wipers in dry weather. 1

In the ÄorÅ position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically according
to the intensity of the rain. In the Åposition,
the rain sensor is more sensitive than in the
Ä position, causing the windscreen wiper to
wipe more frequently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windscreen will
no longer be wiped properly. This could prevent you from observing the traffic conditions. Replacing the wiper blades
