Ve hicles with Intelligent Light Sy stem: The
headlamps are automatically adjus ted when the
ve hicle enters countries in which traf fic drives
on theot her side of thero ad.
In thefo llowing cases, check the headlamp set‐
ting and change it manually if necessary:

Once the headlamps ha vebeen con verted:
R Oncoming tra ffic will not be dazzled.
R The edge of thero ad will not be illuminated
as far or as high. R
The "mo torw ay mode" and "enhanced fog

matically if there is fog, snow or other causes
of poor visibility such as spr ay. #
In such cases, turn the light switch to
0058 . The automatic driving lights are only an aid.

Ac tive headlamps function R
The headlamps follow thesteering mo ve‐

The functions are active when the low beam is
switched on. Depending on
theve hicle's equipment, the

also be evaluated and the active headlamps
function will adjust the light in advance.

direction, enabling better visibility on tight
bends, forex ample. It can be activated only
when the low beam is switched on. The function is active under
thefo llowing condi‐
tions:
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
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. Light and sight

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. 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.

good time. The driver must be ready tobrake at
all times ir respective of whe ther the sy stem

nction of route-based speed adaptation
When Active Dis tance Assi stDISTRONIC is acti‐
va ted, theve hicle speed will be adap ted accord‐
ingly tothero ute events ahead. Depending on
th e drive prog ram selected, theve hicle negoti‐
ates a route event ahead in an economical, com‐
fo rtable or dynamic manner. When thero ute
eve nt has been passed, theve hicle accelerates
again tothestored speed. The set dis tance to
th eve hicle in front, vehicles de tected ahead and
speed restrictions ahead are take n into account.
Yo u can activate and deactivate route-based
speed adap tation in the multimedia sy stem
(/ page 231). The
following route events are take n into
account:
R Bends
R T-junctions, roundabouts and tollst ations
R Turns and exits
R Traf fic jams ahead (only wi thLive Traf fic
Information )
% When theto llst ation is reached, Active Dis‐
ta nce Assi stDISTRONIC adopts the speed as
th estored speed.
Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi‐
cator tochange lanes is swit ched on and one of
th efo llowing situations is de tected:
R Turning off at junctions
R Driving on slowing-down lanes
R Driving on lanes adjacent toslowing-down
lanes
The driver is responsible forch oosing theright
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular tojunctions, roundabouts
and traf fic lights, as route-based speed adap ta‐
tion does not brake theve hicle toast andstill. When
route guidance is active, thefirs t speed
adjustment is car ried out automatically. If the
turn signal indica tor is switched on, the selected
ro ute is confirmed and fur ther speed adjustment
is activated.
Speed adap tation is cancelled in thefo llowing
cases:
R Ifth e turn signal indicator is switched off
before thero ute event.
R Ifth e driver depresses the accelerator or
brake pedal during the process.
Sy stem limits
Ro ute-based speed adap tation does not take
ri ght of wayre gulations into account. The driver
is responsible for complying with road traf fic
re gulations and driving at a suitable speed.
The speed adap tation made bythe sy stem may
not alw ays be suitable, particular lyin thefo llow‐
