Indicator/warning lamps
The concept
The indicator and warning lamps can light up in
a variety of combinations and colors in display
area 1 or 2.
Several of the lamps are checked for proper
functioning when the engine is started or the
ignition is switched on, and light up briefly.

You can call up more information, e.g., on the
cause of a malfunction and on how to respond,
via Check Control, refer to page 71.
In urgent cases, this information will be shown
as soon as the corresponding lamp comes on.

General information Enclosed areas
Do not let the engine run in enclosed
areas; otherwise, breathing of exhaust fumes
may lead to loss of consciousness and death.
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,
an odorless and colorless but highly toxic gas. ◀
Unattended vehicle
Do not leave the car unattended with the
engine running; otherwise, it presents a poten‐
tial source of danger.
Before leaving the car with the engine running,
shift to neutral or engage transmission posi‐
tion P and set the handbrake firmly; otherwise,
the vehicle may begin to roll. ◀
Frequent starting in quick succession

General information
When the driver's door is opened with the igni‐
tion switched off, the exterior lighting is auto‐
matically switched off when the light switch is
in position 0, 2, or 3.
Switch on the parking lamps if necessary,
switch position 1.
Parking lamps Switch position 1: the vehicle lamps light up on
all sides.
Do not use the parking lamps for extended pe‐
riods; otherwise, the battery may become dis‐
charged and it would then be impossible to
start the engine.
When parking, it is preferable to switch on the
one-sided roadside parking lamps, refer to
page 75.
Low beams Switch position 2: the low beams are lit when
the ignition is switched on.
Automatic headlamp control Switch position 3: the low beams are switched
on and off automatically depending on the am‐
bient light, e.g., in tunnels, in twilight, or if
there is precipitation. Adaptive Light Control is
active.
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
The low beams remain switched on independ‐
ent of the ambient lighting conditions when
you switch on the front fog lamps.
Personal responsibility
The automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal judg‐
ment in determining when the lamps should be
switched on in response to ambient lighting
conditions.
For example, the sensors are unable to detect
fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lamps manually
under these conditions. ◀Seite 74ControlsLamps74

Adaptive Light Control
The concept
Adaptive Light Control is a variable headlamp
control system that enables dynamic illumina‐
tion of the road surface.
Depending on the steering angle and other pa‐
rameters, the light from the headlamp follows
the course of the road.
Activating
With the ignition switch on, turn the light switch
to position 3, refer to page 74.
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adap‐
tive Light Control does not swivel to the driver's
side when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When driving in reverse, Adaptive Light Control
is not active.
Malfunction The warning lamp lights up. A message
appears on the Control Display. Adap‐
tive Light Control is malfunctioning or
has failed. Have the system checked as soon as
possible.
Fog lamps
Overview1Fog lamps2Rear fog lamp
To switch on/off, press the respective button.
Fog lamps
The parking lamps or low beams must be
switched on. The green indicator lamp lights up
when the front fog lamps are switched on.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the front
fog lamps are switched off when the headlamp
flasher or the high beams are activated.
If the automatic headlamp control is activated,
refer to page 74, the low beams are switched
on automatically when the front fog lamps are
switched on.
Rear fog lamp
The low beams or parking lamps with front fog
lamps must be switched on. The yellow indica‐
tor lamp lights up when the rear fog lamp is
switched on.
Instrument lightingThe parking lamps or low beams must be
switched on to adjust the brightness. The
brightness is increased to a certain limit and is
then reduced again.

rates after a short time. The headlamps do not
need to be changed.
If the condensation in the headlamps does not
evaporate after trips with the lights switched
on, and the amount of moisture in the head‐
lamps increases, for example if water droplets
form, have them checked by your service cen‐
ter.
Bi-xenon headlamps These bulbs have a very long life and the likeli‐
hood of failure is very low, provided that they
are not switched on and off excessively. If a
bulb should nevertheless fail, you can continue
driving cautiously with the front fog lamps, pro‐
vided this is permitted by local laws.
Do not perform work/bulb replacement
on xenon headlamps
Have any work on the xenon lighting system,
including bulb replacement, performed only by
a service center.
Due to the high voltage present in the system,
there is the danger of fatal injuries if work is
carried out improperly. ◀

tilted, as the front wheels could turn.▷When the engine is stopped, there is no
power assist. Consequently, more force
needs to be applied when braking and
steering.▷Larger steering wheel movements are re‐
quired.▷Switch on the hazard warning system, de‐
pending on local regulations.Seite 246MobilityBreakdown assistance246
