beam that points directly to the vehicle is dimmed.
Dipped beam directly toward oncoming vehicles, but continued main beam on both sides of thevehicle.
The lighting returns to full main beam about a second after the camera sensor no longerdetects the headlamp beams from oncomingtraffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.
Activating/deactivatingAHB can be activated when the headlamp control's knob is in position
(provided
that the function has not been deactivated in the menu system MY CAR), see MY CAR (p.103).
Stalk switch and knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.
The function can start while driving in the dark when the car's speed is 20 km/h orhigher. Activate/deactivate AHB by moving the left- hand stalk switch towards the steering wheelto the end position and then releasing. Deac-tivation when main beam is on means that thelights are reset directly to dipped beam. Car with analogue combined instrument panel When AHB is activated the
symbol illu-
minates in the instrument's information dis- play. When main beam is switched on the
symbol also illuminates in the combined instrument panel. This also applies for Xenonheadlamps if the main beam is partially dimmed, i.e. as soon as the light beam shineswith slightly more than dipped beam. Car with digital combined instrument panel When AHB is activated the
symbol
turns white in the instrument's information display. When main beam is activated, the symbol shines blue. This also applies for Xenon head-lamps if the main beam is partially dimmed,i.e. as soon as the light beam shines withslightly more than dipped beam.
Manual operation
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor free from ice, snow, mistand dirt. Do not stick or attach anything to the windscreen in front of the camera sensoras this may reduce effectiveness or causeone or more of the systems dependent onthe camera to stop working.
If the message Active main beam
Temporary unavailable Switch manually is
shown in the combined instrument panel's information display then you have to switchmanually between main and dipped beam.However, the knob for headlamp control can still remain in position
. The same
applies if the message

are shown. The
symbol goes out when
these messages are shown. AHB may be temporarily unavailable e.g. in situations with dense fog or heavy rain. WhenAHB becomes available again, or the wind-screen sensors are no longer blocked, the message extinguishes and the
symbol
illuminates.
WARNING
AHB is an aid for using optimum light composition when conditions are favoura-ble. The driver always bears responsibility for manually switching between main anddipped beam when traffic situations orweather conditions so require.
IMPORTANT
Examples of when manual switching between main and dipped beam may berequired:
• In heavy rain or dense fog
• In freezing rain
• In snow flurries or slush
• In moonlight
• When driving in poorly lit built-up areas
• When the traffic ahead has weak light-ing
• If there are pedestrians on or besidethe road
• If there are highly reflective objectssuch as signs in the vicinity of the road
• When the lighting from oncoming traf-fic is obscured by e.g. a crash barrier
• When there is traffic on connectingroads
• On the brow of a hill or in a hollow
• In sharp bends.

Active Xenon headlamps*
Active Xenon headlamps are designed to pro- vide maximum illumination in bends and junc-tions and so provide increased safety.
Active Xenon headlamps ABL
Headlamp pattern with function deactivated (left) and activated (right) respectively.
If the car is equipped with active Xenon head- lamps (Active Bending Lights – ABL) the lightfrom the headlamps follows the steeringwheel movement in order to provide maxi-mum lighting in bends and junctions and soprovide increased safety. The function is activated automatically when the car is started (provided that it has notbeen deactivated in the menu systemMY CAR), see MY CAR (p. 103). In the event of a fault in the function the

• the engine is started
• the car is locked.
The passenger compartment lighting comeson and remains on for two minutes if one ofthe doors is open. If any lighting is switched on manually and the car is locked then it will be switched offautomatically after two minutes.
Mood lightsWhen the normal passenger compartmentlighting is switched off and the engine is run-ning, a number of LEDs illuminate, includingone in the ceiling lighting, in order to providea low-light and enhance the mood while driv-ing. This lighting goes out for a little whileafter the normal passenger compartmentlighting when the car is locked. The bright-ness is controlled using the thumbwheel onthe headlamp control (p. 78).
Home safe light duration
Home safe lighting consists of dipped beam, parking lamps, lamps in the door mirrors,number plate lighting, interior roof lighting aswell as courtesy lighting. Some of the exterior lighting can be kept switched on to work as home safe lightingafter the car has been locked.
1. Remove the remote control key from the ignition switch.
2. Move the left-hand stalk switch toward the steering wheel to the end position and release it. The function can be activatedin the same way as with main beam flash;see Main/dipped beam (p. 81).
3. Get out of the car and lock the door. When the function is activated, dipped beam, parking lamps, door mirror lamps, numberplate lighting, interior roof lamps and courtesylighting are switched on.

Headlamps - adjusting headlamp pattern
If the car is equipped with active Xenon head- lamps and has the Active High Beam functionthen the headlamp pattern must be resetwhen changing from right to left-hand traffic,and vice versa.
Active Xenon headlamps*No headlamp pattern adjustment is requiredfor cars with the function Active High Beam*.The headlamp pattern is designed in such away that oncoming traffic is not dazzled. Headlamp pattern adjustment is required for cars with Active High Beam. The car must bestationary with the engine running when theheadlamp pattern is shifted between right andleft-hand traffic. The headlamp pattern is changed in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 103).

detects on the windscreen. The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted using thethumbwheel. When the rain sensor is activated a lamp in the button illuminates and the rain sensor symbol
is shown in the combined
instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivityWhen activating the rain sensor, the car must be running or the remote control key in posi-tion I or II while the windscreen wiper stalk
switch must be in position 0 or in the position
for a single sweep. Activate the rain sensor by pressing the but- ton
. The windscreen wipers make one
sweep. Press the stalk switch up for the wipers to make an extra sweep. Turn the thumbwheel upward for higher sen- sitivity and downward for lower sensitivity.(An extra sweep is made when the thumb-wheel is turned upward.)
DeactivateDeactivate the rain sensor by pressing the button
or move the stalk switch down
to another wiper program. The rain sensor is automatically deactivated when the remote control key is removed from the ignition switch or five minutes after theengine has been switched off.

I or II. The symbol in the
combined instrument panel and the lampin the button go out.
Washing the headlamps and windows

Washing the windscreenMove the stalk switch toward the steering wheel to start the windscreen and headlampwashers. The windscreen wipers will make several more sweeps and the headlamps are washedonce the stalk switch has been released.
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automaticallyin cold weather to prevent the washer fluidfreezing solid.
High-pressure headlamp washing*High-pressure headlamp washing consumesa large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,the headlamps are washed automatically atevery fifth windscreen wash cycle.
Reduced washingIf only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remainsin the reservoir and the message that youshould fill the washer fluid is shown in thecombined instrument panel, then the supplyof washer fluid to the headlamps is switchedoff. This is in order to prioritise cleaning thewindscreen and the visibility through it.
