Fold back the front passenger seat backrest so that it is upright.
When it is folded up, the front passenger seat backrest must engage securely into place.
WARNING
Serious injuries could be caused if the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards and
backwards in an uncontrolled way and without taking due care.
Fold the front passenger seat backrest forwards and backwards only when the vehicle is stationary.
When folding the front passenger seat backrest forwards, always make sure that there are no
people, animals or objects in its path.
The front airbag must be switched off and the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp must be
lit for as long as the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards.
When folding forwards and backwards, keep all hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from
the seat hinges and seat release mechanism.
Floor mats or other objects could get caught in the hinges on the front passenger seat backrest. This
could cause the front passenger seat backrest to fail to engage securely when it is returned to the
upright position.
When being folded back, the front passenger seat backrest must be securely locked in the upright
position. If the front passenger seat backrest is not locked properly, it could move suddenly and
cause serious injuries.
WARNING
The open seat anchorages and hinges of the folded front passenger seat backrest can cause serious
injuries in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or accident.
Never transport either adults or children on the front passenger seat if the front passenger seat
backrest is folded forwards.
If the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards, you must use only the rear seat behind the
driver seat. This also applies to children in child seats.

switch lighting will switch on and off according to the light conditions. When the lights are switched
on, the indicator lamp lights up yellow.
The automatic headlights are merely an aid and will not always be able to detect all driving
situations.
In vehicles with a corresponding equipment level, the switch-on time of the automatic headlights
can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system

Switching main beam on and off
Fig. 80 On the left of the steering column: turn signal and main beam lever.
Switch on the ignition and dipped beam.
Move the turn signal and main beam lever from the centre position to the following position:
Main beam switched on.
Operate the headlight flasher or switch off the main beam. The headlight flasher comes on for as
long as the lever is pulled.
When the main beam or headlight flasher are switched on, the blue indicator lamp lights up in
the instrument cluster.
Main-beam control
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, advanced main-beam control may also be available
Main-beam control
WARNING
Incorrect use of the main beam headlights can lead to accidents and serious injuries as the main
beam headlights could distract and dazzle other road users.
Main-beam control
The main-beam control automatically dips the headlights when oncoming vehicles and/or vehicles
driving in front are detected. Main-beam control also recognises illuminated areas such as towns
and deactivates the main beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, main-beam control automatically switches main beam on at speeds
of over approximately 60 km/h (37 mph), depending on ambient and traffic conditions, and switches
it off again at speeds under approximately 30 km/h (18 mph)
With some equipment levels, the main-beam control can be activated and deactivated in the
Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays

matic headlights .
Tap the turn signal and main beam lever forwards from the basic position.
When main-beam control is switched on, the indicator lamp lights up in the instrument cluster
display.
Switching off main-beam control
Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever.
OR: switch off the automatic headlights .
OR: switch off the ignition.
OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
System limits
The main beam must be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched
off by the main-beam control in time or at all:
In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
In tight bends, with half-hidden oncoming traffic, on steep crests or in dips.
With oncoming traffic on roads with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the
central barrier e.g. truck drivers.
In fog, snow or heavy rain.
In conditions with swirled-up dust and sand.
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
If the camera's field of vision is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, or by snow or ice.
If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted.
WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main-beam control tempt you into taking any risks
when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always check the vehicle lights yourself and adapt them to the prevailing conditions for light,
visibility and road traffic.
The main-beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not
work properly in certain situations.
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main-beam control
may be impaired. This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example
if additional headlights are fitted.

Activating and deactivating the rain/light sensor
Position - the rain/light sensor is deactivated.
Position - the rain/light sensor is activated, automatic wipe when necessary.
The automatic wipe function can be activated and deactivated in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
If the automatic wipe function is deactivated in the Infotainment system, the intervals are set at
fixed levels.
Adjusting the sensitivity of the rain/light sensor
The sensitivity of the rain/light sensor can be adjusted manually using the switch in the wiper lever
Fig.
Switch to the right high sensitivity.
Switch to the left low sensitivity.
WARNING
The rain/light sensor cannot always adequately detect all precipitation and activate the wipers
correspondingly.
If necessary, switch on the wipers manually in good time if the water on the windscreen restricts the
field of vision.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes
Troubleshooting
Washer fluid level too low
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
Fill up the washer fluid reservoir at the next opportunity Washer fluid
Fault in rain/light sensor
The wipers are not switched on automatically if it rains during rain/light sensor operation.

Changes in the activation behaviour of the rain/light sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations relating to the sensitive surface of the rain/light
sensor
Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or smears caused by damaged wiper blades can increase the
time the wipers are switched on, can shorten the length of the intervals between wipes or cause the
wipers to run quickly and continuously.
Insects: insects hitting the windscreen can cause the wipers to be activated.
Salt deposits: in winter, salt deposits can cause the wipers to continue to wipe the windscreen when
it is almost dry.
Dirt: dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lotus effect), or detergent deposits (from an automatic car
wash) can cause the rain/light sensor to become less sensitive and react too slowly, or prevent it
from reacting at all. Clean the sensitive surface of the rain/light sensor Caring for and cleaning the
vehicle exteriorat regular intervals and inspect the wiper blades for damage.
Crack in the windscreen: a wipe cycle will be triggered if the rain/light sensor is on when the
windscreen is impacted by a stone. The rain/light sensor will then register the impairment of the
sensitive surfaces and adjust accordingly. Depending on the size of the stone impact, the activation
behaviour of the rain/light sensor may be changed.
We recommend that you use an alcohol-based glass cleaner to remove wax and polish.
The wipers will try to wipe away any obstacles that are on the window. The wiper will stop moving if
the obstacle continues to block its path. Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper back on again.
