Daytime running lights Daytime running light increases
visibility of the vehicle during daylight.
They are switched on automatically
when ignition is on.
If the vehicle is equipped with
automatic light control function, the
system switches between daytime
running light and low/high beam
automatically depending on the
lighting conditions and information
given by the rain sensor system.
Automatic light control 3 139.
Adaptive forward lighting The Adaptive forward lighting
functions are only available with Bi-
Xenon headlights. Light range, light
distribution and intensity of light are
variably triggered depending on the
light conditions, weather and road
type.With the light switch in position
AUTO all lighting functions are
available.
The following functions are available
also with light switch in position 9:
● dynamic curve lighting
● corner lighting
● reversing function
● dynamic automatic headlight levelling
Playstreet lighting
Activated automatically at low speed
up to approx. 30 km/h. The light beam is turned at an angle of 8° to the
roadside.
Town lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 40 and
55 km/h and when street lights are
detected by the light sensor. The light range is reduced by an extended light
distribution.Country lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 55 and
115 km/h. The beam of light and the
brightness is different between the left and the right side.
Motorway lighting Activated automatically at a speed
above approx. 115 km/h and minimal steering movements. It switches on
after a delay or directly when the vehicle is powerfully accelerated. The
light beam is longer and brighter.
Adverse weather lighting Activated automatically up to a speed
of approx. 70 km/h, when the rain
sensor recognises condensation or
the wiper operates continuously. The
range, distribution and light intensity
is regulated variably depending on visibility.

Lighting143Dynamic curve lighting
The light beam pivots based on
steering wheel angle and speed,
improving lighting in curves.
Control indicator f 3 115.
Corner lighting
On tight bends or when turning off,
depending on the steering angle or
the turn signal light, an additional left
or right reflector is switched on which illuminates the road at an right angle
to the direction of travel. It is activated
up to a speed of 40 km/h.
Control indicator f 3 115.
Reversing function
If the headlights are on and reverse
gear is engaged, both corner lights
are switched on. They remain
illuminated for 20 seconds after
disengaging reverse gear or until
driving faster than 17 km/h in a
forward gear.
High beam assist This feature allows high beam as
main driving light by night and when
vehicle speed is faster than 40 km/h.
It switches to low beam when: ● The camera in the windscreen detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles.
● The vehicle speed is slower than
20 km/h.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.Activation
The high beam assist is activated by
pushing the indicator lever twice with
a speed above 40 km/h.
The green control indicator l
illuminates continuously when the
assist is activated, the blue one 7
illuminates when high beam is on.
Control indicator l 3 115.
Deactivation
Push indicator lever once. It is also
deactivated when front fog lights are
switched on.

144LightingIf a headlight flash is activated when
the high beam is on, the high beam
assist will be deactivated.
If a headlight flash is activated when
the high beam is off, the high beam
assist will stay activated.
High beam assist is always active
after the ignition is switched on.
Intelligent light ranging with
automatic high beam activation
Intelligent light ranging uses the
properties of Bi-Xenon headlights to
extend the light range of the low
beams by up to 400 metres and additionally activates automatic high
beam without dazzling or disturbing
oncoming or preceding traffic.
High beam is deactivated and the low beam light range will be reduced to
avoid dazzling when the following
restrictions are detected by the front
camera in the windscreen:
● A preceding vehicle is recognised.
● An oncoming vehicle is recognised.● Urban areas are entered.
● Iit is foggy or snowy.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.
When the system is active, the front
camera monitors the area ahead of
the vehicle and ensures an optimum
light distribution for maximum driver
vision during almost all conditions
Intelligent light ranging with automatic high beam activation therefore
reduces the difference between
conventional low and high beam without drastic changes in light-
range, distribution and intensity.A special topographical evaluation
function detects preceding vehicles
on hills or slopes by recognising the
rear light moving ahead. The system
adjusts the height of the light range to
ensure optimum illumination on the
road ahead without dazzling.
Activation
Intelligent light ranging and automatic
high beam activation are switched on together by pushing the indicator
lever twice. They can be switched on
with ignition on.

Lighting145Automatic high beam activation
operates at a speed above 40 km/h
and deactivates below 20 km/h.
Intelligent light ranging operates
above 55 km/h.
The green control indicator l
illuminates continuously when the
function is activated, the blue one 7
illuminates when high beam switches
on automatically.
Deactivation
Push indicator lever once. It is also deactivated when front fog lights are
switched on.
Dynamic automatic headlightlevelling
To prevent oncoming traffic from
dazzle, headlight levelling is
automatically adjusted based on
inclination information measured by
front and rear axle, acceleration or
deceleration and vehicle speed.Fault in Adaptive forward lighting
system
When the system detects a failure in
the Adaptive forward lighting system,
the system moves to a preset position to avoid dazzling of oncoming traffic.
If this is not possible, the affected
headlight will be automatically
switched off. In any case, one
headlight will stay on. A warning is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.

Driving and operating173Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 111.
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting off the system performs
a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 112.
Adaptive brake light
During full braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS
control.Fault9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.

182Driving and operatingBy pressing m to activate cruise
control or adaptive cruise control or
by switching off the ignition, speed
limiter is also deactivated and the
stored speed is deleted.
Adaptive cruise control Adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement to traditional cruise
control with the additional feature of
maintaining a certain distance behind
the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive cruise control automatically
decelerates the vehicle when
approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle speed to
follow the vehicle ahead at the
selected following distance. The
vehicle speed increases or decreases to follow the vehicle in front, but willnot exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
The adaptive cruise control can store
and maintain speeds over approx.
50 km/h and brakes automatically to
follow a slower vehicle driving ahead
down to a minimum speed of
30 km/h.
Adaptive cruise control uses a radar sensor to detect the vehicles ahead.
If no vehicle is detected in the driving path, the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a traditional cruise
control.
For safety reasons, the system
cannot be activated before the brake
pedal has been depressed once after
switching on ignition. Activation in first gear is not possible.
Adaptive cruise control is mainly
advised to be used on long straight
roads, e.g. highways or country roads
with steady traffic. Do not use the
system if it is not advisable to
maintain a constant speed.
Control indicator A 3 116, m 3 116.
9 Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal and the cancel
switch have priority over any
adaptive cruise control operation.
Switching on
Press C to switch on adaptive cruise
control. The control indicator m
illuminates white.
