switches between daytime running
lights and headlights automatically
depending on the external lighting
conditions and information given by
the rain sensor system.
Daytime running light 3 134.
Automatic headlight activation
During poor lighting conditions
headlights are switched on.
Additionally, headlights are switched
on if the windscreen wipers have
been activated for several wipes.
LED headlights 3 134.
Tunnel detection
When a tunnel is entered headlights
are switched on immediately.
High beam assist
The camera in the windscreen
detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles. Once activated,
high beam assist remains active and switches high beam on and off
automatically. The latest setting of the high beam assist will remain after theignition is switched on again.
It switches automatically to low beam
when:
● Driving in urban areas.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Fog lights are switched on.If there are no restrictions detected, the system switches back to high
beam.
This feature allows the high beam to
function as main driving light at night.
Each LED on right or left side is
triggered or faded out particularly according to the traffic situation. This
gives the best light distribution
without dazzling other road users.
High beam is switched on
automatically at a speed above
50 km/h. High beam is switched off at a speed below 35 km/h, but highbeam assist remains active.

LED and Matrix-LED headlights for
low and high beam ensure better
visibility under all conditions.
Matrix-LED headlight contains
beyond that a variety of particular
LEDs in each headlight which
enables the control of different
lighting programmes.
Light distribution and intensity of light
are variably triggered depending on
the lighting conditions, road type and
driving situation. The vehicle adapts
the headlights automatically to the
situation to enable optimal light
performance for the driver. Some
functions of the LED headlights can
be deactivated or activated in the

preceding vehicles are not dazzled.

Lighting135Curve light
Particular LEDs, based on steering
angle and speed, are additionally
triggered to improve lighting in
curves. This function is activated at
speeds from 40 km/h to 70 km/h and
reacts to steering angle.
Cornering light
When turning off, depending on the
steering angle and the turn lights, particular LEDs are triggered which
illuminate the direction of travel. It is
activated up to a speed of 40 km/h.
Reverse parking function

engaged. They remain illuminated for
a short time after disengaging reverse gear or until driving faster than
7 km/h in a forward gear.
Automatic headlight levelling
To prevent oncoming traffic from being dazzled, headlight levelling is
automatically adjusted based on
inclination information measured by
front and rear axle, acceleration or
deceleration and vehicle speed.

The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons.
Activated cooling may inhibit
Autostops.

The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen may mist
up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
