Glare-free high beam
9 Warning
The glare-free high beam function
may dazzle other road users when the vehicle is driven in countrieswhere traffic moves on the
opposite side of the road. E.g.
when the vehicle was designed for
left hand drive traffic and it is
driven in a country with right hand
drive traffic.
Switch off glare-free high beam
function whenever you are driving in countries mentioned above!
The system enables a glare-free high beam when driving in dark
surroundings.
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.
Glare-free high beam is switched on
automatically at a speed above
31 mph. It is switched off at a speed
below 22 mph, but the system
remains active.
Motorway mode
Activated automatically at a speed
above 65 mph. Illumination is
adapted to the higher speed driven on
motorways. If there is no oncoming
traffic, the visibility on the side of the
vehicle is increased. When following
vehicles ahead or passing, dazzling
for these vehicles is reduced.
Fault in LED headlight system
When the system detects a failure in
the LED headlight system, it selects a preset position to avoid dazzling of
oncoming traffic. A warning is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.

must be engaged on some manual
transmissions. On automatic
transmission, position D or the
second or a higher gear in position
M must be selected.
Deviations from the stored speeds
may occur when driving uphill or
downhill.
The system maintains the vehicle
speed at the preset speed by the
driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The preset speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal firmly.
The status and preset speed is
