Failure of the light bulbs
The warning light
comes on if a light bulb is damaged:
•
up to 2 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
•
when switching on the defective light bulb.
The following text e.g will be displayed in the information display*:
Check front right dipped beam!
The rear side lights and the licence plate
lighting require several light bulbs. The
indicator light
only lights up if all light bulbs
of the licence plate lighting or the
parking light (in one rear light unit) are defe
ctive. Check regularly the function of the
light bulbs.Adaptive headlights*
If the warning light
flashes for 1 minute while driving or after switching on the
ignition and a warning signal sounds, a fault of the adaptive headlights is confirmed. Further information
⇒page 63.
Diesel particle filter*
(diesel engine)
If the warning light
comes on, this means that soot has accumulated in the
diesel particle filter because of the frequent short distances. In order to clean the diesel particle filter,
the vehicle should be driven at an even
speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until the warning light goes out with the 4th or 5th gear engaged (auto-matic gearbox: position S) when the traffi
c situation permits it. This increases the
exhaust temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt. Always pay attention to the valid speed limits
⇒
.
The warning light
goes out after the successful cleaning of the diesel particle
filter. If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and the
warning light
begins to flash. In the in
formation display* appears
Diesel-
particle Owner's manual
. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into
the emergency mode, which only has a re
duced power output. After switching the
ignition off and on again the warning light
comes on.

cally and only the side lights come on.
On models fitted with
right-hand steering
the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in
⇒fig. 55
. The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.•
The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The
vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.•
If the car is parked for a lengthy period
, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the parking lights switched on.•
The switching on of the described lights
should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.•
If a fault occurs in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically
•
In the event of cool or humid weather co
nditions, the headligh
ts can be misted
up from inside.
− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head- light lenses is decisive. − When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period. The headli
ght lenses can possib
ly mist up at the
border areas.

− It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights. − This mist has no influence on th
e life of the lighting system.
Daylight driving lights*In some countries, the national legisl
ation requires that the vehicles are
equipped with the function
daylight driving lights.
Switching on daylight driving lights – Switch on the ignition without turnin
g the light switch out of the posi-
tion 0.
Deactivate function daylight driving lights – Pull the turn signal light lever towards the steering wheel up to 3
seconds after switching on the ignition
and at the same time, slide it to
the bottom and hold it in this position for at least 3 seconds.
Activate function daylight driving lights – Pull the turn signal light lever towards the steering wheel up to 3
seconds after switching on the ignition
and at the same time, slide it to
the top and hold it in this position for at least 3 seconds.
When the daylight driving lights are swit
ched on, also the low beam with reduced
brightness shines together with the side
lights (approx. 92 % of the performance).
This contributes to a longer life of the lamps for the low beam. When the daylight driving lights are switched on, the illumination of the instrument cluster is switched off, however, it is switched on in the position
when it is dark
and the low beam shines with full brightness (100 % of the performance). On vehicles fitted with an information displa
y*, you can activate or
deactivate in the
menu the function daylight driving lights: „

If the light switch is in the position
, the symbol illuminates when the ignition
is switched on
next to the light switch. If th
e low beam is activated with the
light sensor, the symbol
illuminates additionally next to the light switch.
If the light comes on automatically, the side lights and low beam as well as licence plate light light up at the same time. If the automatic light control is switched
on, the light is regulated with the light
sensor in the rear mirror holder. If the light intensity drops below the set value, e.g when driving during the day into a tunnel, the low beam and the side lights as well as the licence plate light come on automa
tically. If the light intensity increases
again, the lights switch off automatically. Motorway lights If the automatic light control has been switched on and the vehicle speed is over 140 km/h for at least 10 seconds, the side
lights and low beam are switched on
automatically.

WARNING
The automatic light control only operat
es as a support. The driver is not
released from his responsibility to inspect the light and if necessary to switch on the light depending on the light
conditions. The light sensor cannot
detect for example rain or snow. Fo
r these conditions we recommend to
switch on the low beam
!
Note
•
Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that you do not impair its
function or put it out of operation.•
The same principles as for using the au
tomatic light control also apply to the
light which is switched on manually

System AHL* makes it possible to change
the length and width of illumination of
the headlight. The length and width of i
llumination changes automatically in rela-
tion to the vehicle speed and the use of the windscreen wiper. System AHL* operates in the following modes. Mode out of town The mode “out of town” is a basic mode. The dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is active if none of the following modes are active. Mode rain In the mode “rain” the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wider and the width of illumination is shorter,
so that during bad weather (rain) the
dazzling of the oncoming drivers can be reduced. The mode is activated at speeds of 15 - 70 km/h and if the windscreen wi
pers continuously operate for a period of
time longer than 2 minutes. The mode
is deactivated when dropping below or
exceeding the set speed limit or if the windscreen wipers have been switched off for a period of time longer than 8 minutes.

Mode city In the mode “city”, the dispersion of the cone
of light in front of the vehicle is wider
and the width of illumination is shorter. It
has as an aim to il
luminate the adjacent
footpaths, crossings, pedestrian crossings etc. The mode is active at speeds of 15 - 50 km/h. Mode motorway In the mode “motorway” the disp
ersion of the cone of light is so widespread, that it
illuminates also the left (and right)
7) lane of the motorway, so that the driver can
react in time to an obstacle or any other
danger. The mode is activated stepwise as
of a speed of 90 km/h. It gains its greate
st effectiveness at speeds above 120 km/h.
Tourist light This mode makes it possible to drive in
countries with opposi
ng traffic system,
driving on the left/right, without dazzling the oncoming vehicles. When the mode “tourist light” is active, the above mentioned modes and the side to side swivel of the headlight is deactivated. The mode “tourist light” is activated / deac
