stem function
The MULTIBEAM LED headlamps adapt tothe
driving and weather situation and pr ovide exten‐
ded functions for impr oved illumination of the
ro ad.
The sy stem comprises thefo llowing functions:
R Active headla mps (/ page136)
R Cornering light (/ page136) R
Motorw ay mode (/ page137)
R Enhanced fog light function (/ page137)
R Off-road light (/ page138)
The sy stem is active only when it is dar k.
Ac tive headlamps function R
The headlamps follow thesteering mo ve‐
ments.
R Releva nt areas are better illumina ted during
a journe y.
The functions are active when the low beam is
switched on. Depending on
theve hicle's equipment, the
cou rse of the lane in which you are driving will
also be evaluated and the active headlamps
function will adjust the light in advance.
Cornering light function The cornering light impr
ovesth e illumination of
th e car riag ewa yove r a wide angle in the turning
direction, enabling better visibility on tight
bends, forex ample. It can be activated only
when the low beam is switched on. 13 6
Light and sight

The function is active in
thefo llowing cases:
R Atspeeds below 40 km/h when the turn sig‐
nal light is switched on or thesteering wheel
is turned
R Atspeeds between 40 km/h and 70 km/h
and when thesteering wheel is turned
Ro undabout and junction function: the cor‐
nering light will be activated on bo thsides based
on an evaluation of theve hicle's cur rent GPS
position. It will remain active until af terth eve hi‐
cle has left thero undabout or the junction.
Mo torw ay mode function
Mo torw ay mode increases thera nge and bright‐
ness of the cone of light, enabling better visibil‐
ity. The function will be active if a mo
torw ay jou rney
is de tected bymeans of:
R theve hicle's speed
R the multifunction camera
R the GPS
The function will not be active at speeds below
80 km/h.
Enhanced fog light function
The enhanced fog light function reduces self-
dazzling and impr ovesth e illumination of the
edge of the car riag ewa y. The function is automatically activated under
the
fo llowing conditions:
R Atspeeds below 70 km/h and when there ar
fo g light is switched on.
The function is automatically deactivated under
th efo llowing conditions:
R When speeds greater than 100 km/h are
re ached.
R When there ar fog light is switched off.
% You can activate the enhanced fog light func‐
tion up toa speed of 100 km/h byswitching
on there ar fog light. Light and sight

Fu
nction of the off-road light
The off-ro ad light impr oves illumination during
off-road driving. The low beam is distributed
symmetrically and across a wide angle, and
brightness is increased slightl y.This makes it
easier tofind your wa y when driving off-ro ad and
to detect obs tacles at an earl yst age. The active
headlamps are deactivated during this time so
th at steering mo vements do not change the illu‐
mination.
The function is active when the low beam is
switched on if you are not driving at a speed
greater than 50 km/h and theF (Offroad) or
G (Offroad Plus) drive program has been
selected.

WARNING Risk of accident despite
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist Plus
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not
re act to:
R road users without lights, e.g. pedes‐
trians
R road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R road users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. bya bar rier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist Plus may failto recognise other road
users with their own lighting, or may recog‐
nise them too late.
In these, or in similar situations, the auto‐
matic high beam will not be deactivated or
will be activated despite the presence of
ot her road users. #
Alw ays obser vethero ad and traf fic
conditions carefully and switch off the
high beam in good time. Ad
aptive Highbeam Assist Plus cannot take into

De tection may be restricted in thefo llowing
cases:
R In poor visibilit y,e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
R Ifth ere is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
