System limits
The automatic headlamp control cannot serve
as a substitute for your personal judgment of
lighting conditions.
E. g. the sensors are unable to detect fog or
hazy weather. To avoid safety risks under these
conditions, you should always switch on the
lights manually.
Daytime running lights Position of switch:
, ,
The daytime running lights light up when the
ignition is switched on. After the ignition is
switched off, the parking lights light up in posi‐
tion
.
Activating/deactivating
In some countries, daytime running lights are
mandatory, so it may not be possible to deacti‐ vate the daytime running lights.
Set via radio.

Cornering lamp
Position of switch:
When going around corners, the cornering light
also lights the interior area of the curve. Below
a speed of approx. 25 mph/40 km/h when the
turn signal is switched on and the steering an‐
gle is detected, there is automatic activation.
Malfunction A Check Control message is displayed.
Cornering light is disrupted or failed. Have the
system checked as soon as possible.
High-beam Assistant The concept
When the low beams are activated, this system automatically switches the high beams on and
off. The procedure is controlled by a camera on
the front of the interior rearview mirror. The as‐
sistant ensures that the high beams are acti‐
vated whenever the traffic situation allows. The
driver can intervene at any time and switch the
high beams on and off as usual. In the low
speed range, the high beams are not switched
on by the system.
Activating
The High-beam Assistant can be activated
when the low beams are activated.
1.Depending on the equipment, turn the light
switch into position
or .
2.Press button on the turn signal lever, arrow.
The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.
When the low beams are on, the lights are au‐
tomatically brightened or dimmed.
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, e.g., in towns and cities.

switches on the high beams.
Switching the high beams on and off
manually▷High beams on, arrow 1.▷High beams off/headlight flasher, arrow 2.
The High-beam Assistant can be switched off
when manually adjusting the light.
To reactivate the high-beam Assistant, press
the button on the turn signal lever, refer to
page 78.
System limits
The High-beam Assistant cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver's personal judgment of
when to use the high beams. Therefore, man‐
ually switch off the high beams in situations
where required to avoid a safety risk.
The system is not fully functional in situations such as the following, and driver intervention
may be necessary:
▷In very unfavorable weather conditions,
such as fog or heavy precipitation.▷When detecting poorly-lit road users such
as pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders
and wagons; when driving close to train or
ship traffic; and at animal crossings.▷In tight curves, on hilltops or in depressions,
in cross traffic or half-obscured oncoming
traffic on freeways.▷In poorly-lit towns and cities and in the
presence of highly reflective signs.▷When the windshield behind the interior
rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or cov‐
ered with stickers, etc.
Fog lights
Front fog lights
The low beams must be switched on.
Press button. The green indicator lamp
lights up.
If the automatic headlight control, refer to
page 77, is activated, the low beams will come
on automatically when you switch on the front
fog lights.
When the high beams or headlight flasher are
activated, the front fog lights are not switched
on.
Rear fog lights The low beams or front fog lights must be
switched on.
Press button. The yellow indicator
lamp lights up.
If the automatic headlight control, refer to
page 77, is activated, the low beams will come
on automatically when you switch on the rear
fog lights.
Instrument lighting Adjusting The parking lights or low beams
must be switched on to adjust
the brightness.
Adjust the brightness with the
thumbwheel.

Display
If a collision with a person detected in this way
is imminent, a warning symbol appears on the
instrument cluster.
The red symbol is displayed and a signal
sounds.
Intervene immediately by braking or
make an evasive maneuver.
Braking intervention
The warning prompts the driver himself/herself
to react. During a warning, the maximum brak‐
ing force is used. Premise for the brake booster
is sufficiently quick and sufficiently hard step‐
ping on the brake pedal. The system can assist
with some braking intervention if there is risk of
a collision. At low speeds vehicles may thus come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: During a braking inter‐
vention up to a complete stop, the engine may
be shut down.
The braking intervention is executed only if DSC
Dynamic Stability Control is switched on.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.
Object detection can be restricted. Limitations
of the detection range and functional restric‐
tions are to be considered.
System limits
Detection range The detection potential of the camera is lim‐
ited.
Thus a warning might not be issued or be is‐
sued late.

tected:▷Partially covered pedestrians.Seite 95SafetyCONTROLS95

Display
Signal tones
When approaching an object, an intermittent
sound indicates the position of the object. E. g.
if an object is detected to the left rear of the ve‐
hicle, a signal tone sounds from the left rear
speaker.
The shorter the distance to the object, the
shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approx. 10 in/25 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.
If objects are located both in front of and to the
rear of the vehicle, an alternating continuous
signal is sounded.
The signal tone is switched off, when selector
lever position P is engaged on vehicles with
Steptronic transmission.
Volume
The ratio of the PDC signal tone volume to the
entertainment volume can be adjusted.1. "Multimedia", "Radio" or
