Position of the steering wheel and the
driver's seat for driving
The steering wheel and the driver's seat are
moved to the previously set position if:
Rthe driver's door is closed and you insert
the SmartKey into the ignition lock
Ryou close the driver's door when the igni-
tion is switched on
Ryou press the Start/Stop button once on
vehicles with KEYLESS-GO
iThe steering wheel and the driver's seat
only return to the last set position when the
driving position is stored after seat or steer-
ing wheel adjustment.
The last position of the steering wheel or seat
is stored if:
Rthe ignition is switched off
Rthe setting is stored with the memory func-
tion (

Crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature
If the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is
triggered in an accident, the steering column
will move upwards when the driver's door is
opened or the SmartKey is removed from the ignition lock. This makes it easier to exit the
vehicle and rescue the occupants.
The crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is
only operational if the EASY-EXIT/ENTRY fea-
ture is activated in COMAND (see the sepa-
rate operating instructions).

Important safety notes
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-
ing wheel and mirror and fasten your seat belt before starting the engine.
GWARNING
The exterior mirror on the front-passenger
side reduces the size of the image. Visible
objects are actually closer than they appear.
This means that you could misjudge the dis-
tance from road users traveling behind, e.g.
when changing lane. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
For this reason, always make sure of the
actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.

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 low-beam headlamps
are switched on.
Active:
Rif you are driving at speeds below 25 mph
(40 km/h) and switch on the turn signal or
turn the steering wheel
Rif you are driving at speeds between
25 mph (40 km/ h)and 45 mph (70 km/h)
and turn the steering wheel
The cornering lamp may remain lit for a short
time, but is automatically switched off after
no more than three minutes.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
General notes
With Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, you can
automatically switch between low-beam, par-
tial high-beam and high-beam headlamps.
Partial high-beam is a form of illumination
whereby the high-beam is directed past other
road users. Other road users are kept out of
the high-beam. This prevents glare. When
there is a vehicle in front, for example, the
high-beam headlamps illuminate the areas to
its right and left, and the vehicle in front is
illuminated by the low-beam headlamps.
The system automatically adapts the low-
beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system
no longer detects any other vehicles, it reac-
tivates the high-beam headlamps.
If the high-beam or partial high-beam are
causing too much reflection from traffic
signs, the lights are automatically dimmed
and glare for the driver caused by the reflec-
tions is thus avoided.
The system's optical sensor is located behind the windshield near the overhead control
panel.

Replacing bulbs
The front and rear light clusters of your vehi-
cle are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not
replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required.
Lamps are an important aspect of vehicle
safety. You must therefore make sure that
these function correctly at all times. Have the
headlamp setting checked regularly.
Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windshield can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when
the windshield is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always
use washer fluid when operating the wind-
shield wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, wax or
other residues may be the reason for this.
Clean the windshield using washer fluid
130Windshield wipers

after washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash.
!Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
shield becomes dirty in dry weather condi- tions, the windshield wipers may be activa-
ted inadvertently. This could then damage
the windshield wiper blades or scratch the
windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windshield wipers in dry weather.

XTurn the combination switch to the corre-
sponding position.
In the ÄorÅ position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically accord-
ing to the intensity of the rain. In the Å
position, the rain sensor is more sensitive
than in the Äposition, causing the wind-
shield wipers to wipe more frequently.
The washer fluid is fed through the wiper
blades; when the screen is wiped with washer
fluid î, the water is emitted directly from
the blades. If you push and hold the combination switch
beyond the point of resistance in the direction
of arrow
B, the manual wash program is
activated. If you push and hold the combina-
tion switch briefly beyond the point of resist-
ance in the direction of arrow B, the auto-
matic wash program is activated.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield
will no longer be wiped properly. This could
prevent you from observing the traff ic c
ondi-
tions.
Replacing the wiper blades
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If the wind shield wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiperblades, you could
be trapped by the wiper arm. There isa risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.
!To avoid damaging the wiper blades,
make sure that you touch only the wiper
arm of the wiper.
!Never open the hood if a windshield wiper
arm has been folded away from the wind-
shield.
Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release
the windshield wiper arm without a wiper
blade and it falls onto the windshield, the
windshield may be damaged by the force of
the impact.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the wiper blades changed at a qualified
specialist workshop.
!Always position the windshield wiper
arms vertically before folding them away
from the windshield. By doing so, you will
avoid damage to the hood.
