Main-beam control
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, advanced main-beam control may also be available
⇒ Main-beam control.
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 normally also recognises illuminated areas such as
towns and deactivates main beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, main-beam control automatically switches the main beam on at
speeds of over approximately 60 km/h (37 mphyf G H S H Q G L Q J R Q D P E L H Q W D Q G W U D I I L F F R Q G L W L R Q V D Q G

•Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever.
•OR: turn the light switch to a position that is not .
•OR: switch off the ignition.
•OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
Advanced main-beam control (Dynamic Light Assistyf
Advanced main-beam control provides maximum illumination for the road and the surrounding area.
At the same time, it prevents vehicles in front or oncoming vehicles from being dazzled. The system
uses a camera to detect other road users and their distance from your vehicle and covers part of
the headlights appropriately. If the system can no longer prevent other road users from being
dazzled, the main beams are switched off automatically.
System limits
The main beam must be switched off manually under the following conditions because it is not
switched off in time or not switched off at all by the main beam control:
•In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
•Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
•In tight bends, brows of hills or depressions in the land or half-hidden oncoming traffic.
•With oncoming traffic on streets 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 dusty or sandy areas.
•Damage to the windscreen in the camera's vision field.
•If the viewing field of the camera is misted up, dirty, covered by a sticker, snow or ice.
•If the camera is broken or the power supply is interrupted.
Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, could
impair the functions of the main-beam control system (Light Assistyf .
Parking light
Switching the parking lights on and off
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main beam control tempt you into taking any
risks when driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Always check the lights yourself and adjust them to the prevailing conditions for lights,
vision 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.
WARNING
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the
system:
•Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
•Do not cover the camera's field of view.
•Regularly check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for
damage.

light on both sides of the vehicle is switched on:
•With the ignition on, turn the light switch to the position .
•Switch off the ignition.
•Lock the vehicle from outside.
Automatic switch-off for side lights and parking lights
The side lights and parking lights drain the 12-volt vehicle battery when switched on. In order to
ensure that the engine can be started, the side lights and parking lights are automatically switched
off when the charge level of the 12 V vehicle battery is so low that there is a risk of no longer being
able to restart the vehicle. Switch-off takes place at the earliest after the side and parking lights
have been switched on for two hours.
The side lights and parking lights will not switch off automatically if there is insufficient battery
capacity for them to remain switched on for two hours. In this case, the side lights and parking lights
will remain switched on until the 12-volt vehicle battery is fully discharged. It will no longer be
possible to restart the engine ⇒.

The following systems may be installed in the vehicle
The heating and fresh air system warms up and supplies fresh air to the vehicle interior. The
heating and fresh air system does not cool down the vehicle interior.
The manual air conditioning system or Climatronic cools down and dehumidifies the air. It
works most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the
vehicle interior, opening the doors and windows can speed up the cooling process.
How the vehicle displays active functions
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that a function has been switched on.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and
therefore change when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation.
Front controls
Fig. 109 In the upper section of the centre console: controls for the manual air conditioning system.
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which
can cause serious injuries.
•Keep all windows free of ice, snow and misting to ensure good visibility.
•Set the heating, air conditioning and rear window heating controls to prevent the
windows from misting up.
•Only set off once all door windows, the windscreen and the rear window are clear.
•Use air recirculation mode only for short periods. If the cooling system is switched off,
the windows can mist up very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility
considerably.
•Switch off the air recirculation mode when it is no longer required.
WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can
cause collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
•Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculation mode for longer periods
as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior.
WARNING
Do not place any food, medicine or any other temperature-sensitive items in front of the
vents. Heat-sensitive food, medicine and other items could be either damaged or rendered
useless.
NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working, switch the air conditioning system off
immediately and have it checked by a qualified workshop. This can help to prevent
secondary damage.
