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
relevant to safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (Y page 25). Exterior lighting
Important safety notes
For reasons of safety, we recommend that
you drive with the lights switched on even
during the daytime. There may be differences
in operation due to legal requirements and
voluntary recommendations in some coun-
tries. Bulb failure indicator
The bulb failure indicator is only an aid. You
are responsible for the proper functioning of
the vehicle lighting. Insufficient or non-func-
tioning vehicle lighting puts the operating
safety of the vehicle at risk.
For this reason, check the condition and func-
tion of your vehicle's lighting system and, if
necessary, that of the trailer before each jour- ney.
The bulb failure indicator monitors all of the
exterior lighting lamps, except the perimeter
lamp and the trailer lighting. If a bulb fails,
either the 0049(Ypage 35) indicator lamp
lights up, or you will see a corresponding
message in the display (Y page 208).
i Depending on the equipment, the bulb
failure indicator can fail for all lamps with
the exception of the turn signal lamps. Light switch

Highbeam Assist
General notes You can use this function to set the head-
lamps to change between low beam and high beam automatically. The system recognizes
vehicles with their lights on, either approach-
ing from the opposite direction or traveling in front of your vehicle, and consequently
switches the headlamps from high beam to
low beam.
Once the system no longer detects any other
vehicles, it reactivates the high-beam head-
lamps.
The system's optical sensor is located behind the windshield near the overhead control
panel.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Highbeam Assist does not recognize road
users:
R who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
In very rare cases, Highbeam Assist may fail to
recognize other road users who have lights, or
may recognize them too late. In this or similar situations, the automatic high-beam head-
lamps will not be deactivated or will be acti-
vated regardless. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and switch off the high-beam headlamps in
good time.
Highbeam Assist cannot take into account
road, weather or traffic conditions. Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are responsible for
adjusting the vehicle's lighting to the prevail-
ing light, visibility and traffic conditions. In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be restricted if there is:
R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R dirt on the sensors or anything else cover-
ing the sensors
