WARNING
If you repeatedly switch on seat heating, the
seat cushion and backrest padding may
become very hot. The health of vehicle occu-
pants with limited temperature sensitivity or a limited ability to react to excessively high
temperatures may be affected or they may
even suffer burn-like injuries. There is a risk of
injury.
Therefore, do not switch on the seat heating

MSolutions The seat heating or seat
ventilation has switched
off prematurely or can-
not be switched on. The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical consum-
ers are switched on.

Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the seat heating or seat
ventilation can be switched back on manually. Steering wheel

Important safety notes G
WARNING
When the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature adjusts
the steering wheel, you and other vehicle
occupants – particularly children – could
become trapped. There is a risk of injury.
While the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is mak-
ing adjustments, make sure that no one has
any body parts in the sweep of the steering
wheel.
Move the steering wheel adjustment lever if
there is a risk of entrapment by the steering
wheel. The adjustment process is stopped. You can stop the adjustment process by press-
ing one of the memory function's position but-
tons. This function is available only on vehicles
with a memory function. G
WARNING
If children activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT fea- ture, they can become trapped, particularly
when unattended. There is a risk of injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle. G

Important safety notes G
WARNING
You could lose control of the vehicle while
driving if you:
R adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirrors
R fasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-
ing wheel and mirrors and fasten your seat
belt before starting the engine. G
WARNING
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Objects visible in the mirrors are
closer than they appear. You could misjudge
the distance from road users driving behind
you when changing lanes, for instance. There is a risk of an accident.
You should therefore always look over your
shoulder to determine the actual distance
from road users driving behind you.

General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with lights switched on
even during the daytime. In some countries,
operation of the headlamps varies due to legal
requirements and voluntary recommendations. Driving abroad
Vehicles with halogen headlamps It is not necessary to switch your headlamps to
symmetrical dipped beam when driving in coun- tries where vehicles are driven on the opposite
side of the road to the country in which the vehi-
cle is registered. Legal requirements are fulfilled
without switching the headlamps to symmetri-
cal dipped beam.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System It is necessary to switch your headlamps to sym-
metrical dipped beam before crossing the bor-
der into countries where vehicles are driven on
the opposite side of the road. This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled.
You can switch the headlamps to symmetrical or
asymmetrical dipped beam using the "dipped-
beam headlamps for driving on the right/left"
function via the on-board computer
(Y page 244). This must be switched back to
asymmetrical dipped beam upon your return.
Symmetrical lights do not illuminate as large an
area of the edge of the carriageway. In this case,
"highway mode" and "extended-range fog
lamps" are not available. Setting the exterior lighting

General notes The Intelligent Light System is a system that
adjusts the headlamps to suit the prevailing
driving and weather conditions. It offers
advanced functions for improved illumination of the road surface, e.g. depending on the vehicle
speed or weather conditions. The system
includes the active light function, cornering light
function, motorway mode and extended-range
fog lamps. The system is active only when it is
dark.
You can activate/deactivate the Intelligent
Intelligent
Light System Light System function using the on-board
computer (Y page 243).
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 sooner.
Active: when the lights are switched on.
Vehicles with Lane Keeping Assist: the active
light function evaluates the course of the lane in which you are driving and adjusts the light in
advance. 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 be acti-
vated only 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.
Cornering light function with roundabout
function:
The cornering light function is activated on both
sides before entering a roundabout through an
evaluation of the current GPS position of the
vehicle. It remains active until after the vehicle
has left the roundabout. In this way, pedestrians crossing the road, for example, are illuminated
by your vehicle in good time.
Only vehicles with the COMAND multimedia sys-
tem have this function.
Motorway mode Motorway mode increases the range of the
beam.
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 fog lamps The extended-range fog lamps 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 fog lamp.
Not active: if, following activation, you are driv-
ing at speeds above 100 km/h or if you switch
off the rear fog lamp. 118
