Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models
as well as standard and optional equipment of
your vehicle that were available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific variations are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the described functions.
This also applies to systems and functions rel-
evant to safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (Y page
32).Exterior lighting
Important safety notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. There may be dif-
ferences in operation due to legal require-
ments and voluntary recommendations in
some countries. Light switch

Low-beam headlamps
When the ignition is switched on and the light
switch is in the
L position, the parking
lamps and low-beam headlamps are switched
on even if the light sensor does not sense dark
ambient light. This is particularly useful when
there is fog or rain.
X To switch on: turn the key to position 2 in
the ignition lock or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to the L position.
The L indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.
Daytime running lamps X
To switch on: turn the light switch to the
$ or à position.
Automatic headlamp mode G
WARNING
When the light switch is set to Ã, the
low-beam headlamps may not be switched
on automatically if there is fog, snow or
other causes of poor visibility due to the
weather conditions such as spray. There is a
risk of an accident.
In such situations, turn the light switch to
L.
Automatic headlamp mode is only a driving
aid. You are responsible for the vehicle lighting
at all times.
When the parking lamps and low-beam head-
lamps are switched on, the green T (park-
ing lamps) and L (low-beam headlamps)
indicator lamps in the instrument cluster light
up.
à is the preferred light switch setting. The
light setting is automatically selected accord-
ing to the brightness of the ambient light
(exception: poor visibility due to weather con-
ditions, such as fog, snow or spray):
R Key in position 1 in the ignition lock: the
parking lamps are switched on or off auto-
matically depending on the brightness of the
ambient light.
R When the engine is on: depending on the
ambient light, the daytime running lamps or the parking lamps and low-beam headlamps
are switched on/off automatically.
X To switch on automatic headlamp mode:
turn the light switch to
Ã.
Fog lamps/rear fog lamp You can only switch the fog lamps on or off
manually in vehicles which have fog lamps
installed.
Front fog lamps help you to see and be seen in
conditions of poor visibility due to fog or pre-
cipitation. They can only be operated together
with the parking lamps or with the low-beam
headlamps.
The rear fog lamp improves visibility of your
vehicle for the traffic behind in the event of
heavy fog. Observe the legal requirements of
the country you are currently in when using
the rear fog lamp.
X Turn the light switch to L or Ã.
X Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock or start the engine.
X To switch the front fog lamps on/off:
press the N button.
When the green
N indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster goes on, the fog lamps
are switched on.
X To switch the rear fog lamp on/off: press
the R button.
When the yellow R indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster goes on, the rear fog
lamp is switched on.
Standing lamps !
If the battery charge is very low, the stand-
ing lamps will switch off automatically to
enable the next engine start. Always park
your vehicle in accordance with legal regula-
tions, in a secure and adequately lit loca-
tion. Avoid leaving the T parking lamps
on for several hours. If possible, switch on
the right X or left W standing lamp.
Switching on the standing lamps ensures that
the corresponding side of the vehicle is illumi-
nated. 100

ted will light up.
The hazard warning lamps automatically
switch on if: R an air bag is deployed.
R you brake sharply and bring the vehicle to a
halt from a speed of more than 45 mph
(70 km/h
).
The hazard warning lamps switch off automati-
cally if the vehicle reaches a speed of over
6 mph (10 km/h) again after a full brake appli-
cation.
i The hazard warning lamps still operate
even if the ignition is switched off. Headlamps fogged up on the inside
The headlamps may fog up on the inside if
there is high atmospheric humidity.
X Switch on the low-beam headlamps and
drive off.
The level of moisture diminishes, depending
on the length of the journey and the weather
conditions (humidity and temperature).
If the level of moisture does not diminish:
X Have the headlamps checked at a qualified
