The Xenon headlights (hereinafter referred to as just system) use the drivingdata to automatically ensure the for the best possible light cone in front of the
vehicle.
The system will automatically operate in the following modes: urban, extra-ur-
ban, motorway, rain, fog, adjusting the lighting direction of the headlights for
road illumination on bends.
The system works as long as the light switch is in position
.
WARNINGIf there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Seek help from
a specialist garage.Fog lights/rear fog lightFig. 51

The headlight assistant (referred to as just system in the following) automati-
cally switches the main beam on/off, if necessary, adjusts the beam of the
front headlights in accordance with the existing traffic situation (other vehi-
cles) and environmental conditions (e.g. driving through a lit village).
The switching on/off of the main beam, if necessary, the adaptation of the
headlight, is controlled by a sensor » Fig. 53.
Depending on the equipment, the following system versions can exist.
Light Assist
automatically switches the main beam on/off.
Dynamic Light Assist
automatically adjusts the light cone shape of the front head-
lights in order to prevent dazzling the oncoming and preceding vehicles, while
ensuring the highest possible illumination of the road edges.
If the driving mode Eco » page 240 , Select the driving mode (Driving Mode
Selection) or travel mode » page 71 , Driving abroad is selected, the automatic
adjustment of the beam is deactivated,
Dynamic Light Assist
only switches the
