General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom- mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations. Driving abroad
Symmetrical dipped-beam headlamps If your journey takes you to countries where
vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the road to the country in which the vehicle is
registered, your headlamps must be switched
to symmetrical dipped beam. This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled. Sym-
metrical lights do not illuminate as large an
area of the edge of the carriageway.
Convert the headlamps as close to the border as possible before driving in these countries
(Y page 261).
Asymmetrical dipped-beam headlamps Convert the headlamps back to asymmetrical
dipped beam as soon as possible after cross-
ing the border (Y page 261).
If the headlamps are converted to symmetri-
cal dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and "extended range foglamps" functions (Intelli-
gent Light System) are not available. Setting the exterior lighting
Setting options Exterior lighting can be set by:
R using the light switch
R using the combination switch
(Y page 126)
R using the on-board computer

The hazard warning lamps switch on auto-
matically if:
R an airbag is deployed or
R the vehicle decelerates rapidly from a
speed of above 70 km/h and comes to a
standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off auto-
matically if the vehicle reaches a speed of
above 10 km/ha gain after a full brake appli-
cation.
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 illu-
mination 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 foglamps. The system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent
Light System" function using the on-board
computer (Y page 260).
Active light function The active light function is a system that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movements 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 vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on.
Active:
R if you are driving at speeds below 40 km/h
and switch on the turn signal or turn the
steering wheel
R if you are driving at speeds between
40 km/ha nd 70 km/h and turn the steer-
ing wheel
The cornering lamp may remain lit for a short
time, but is automatically switched off after
no more than three minutes.
