tive Light Control does not swivel to the driv‐

er's side when the vehicle is at a standstill.

System limits

The automatic headlight control cannot serve

as a substitute for your personal judgment of

lighting conditions.

Depending on the equipment version, Adap‐

tive Light Control consists of one or several

systems:

For example, the sensors are unable to detect

fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks un‐

Activating/deactivating

The cornering light is automatically switched

on depending on the steering angle or the use

of turn signals.

sates for acceleration and braking operations

in order not to blind the oncoming traffic and to

achieve optimum illumination of the roadway.

High-beam Assistant

Concept

The high-beam Assistant detects other traffic

participants early on and automatically

switches the high beams on or off depending

on the traffic situation.

General information

Depending on the steering angle and other pa‐

Lights

General information

System limits

The high-beam Assistant ensures that the high

beams are switched on, whenever the traffic

situation allows. In the low speed range, the

high beams are not switched on by the system.

The high-beam Assistant cannot serve as a

substitute for the driver's personal judgment of

when to use the high beams. In situation that

require this, therefore switch off manually.

The system responds to light from oncoming

traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to

adequate illumination, for instance in towns

and cities.

The system is not fully functional in the follow‐

ing situations, and driver intervention may be

necessary:

▷

In very unfavorable weather conditions,

such as fog or heavy precipitation.

The high beams can be switched on and off at

any time as usual.

▷

When detecting poorly-lit road users such

as pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders

and wagons; when driving close to train or

ship traffic; and at animal crossings.

Activating/deactivating

▷

In tight curves, on hilltops or in depres‐

sions, in cross traffic or half-obscured on‐

coming traffic on highways.

▷

In poorly-lit towns and cities and in the

presence of highly reflective signs.

When the windshield in front of the interior

mirror is fogged over, dirty or covered with

stickers, etc.

Position of switch, depending on the vehicle

equipment:

Press and hold button on signal lever.

Fog lights

Front fog lights

Concept

The indicator light in the instrument

cluster is illuminated when the low

beams are switched on.

The front fog lights work alongside the low

beams to illuminate a wider area of the road‐

way.

The headlights are automatically switched be‐

tween low beams and high beams.

The blue indicator light in the instru‐

ment cluster lights up when the system

switches on the high beams.

Functional requirement

The low beams must be switched on before

switching on the front fog lights.

The high-beam Assistant is deactivated when

manually switching the high beams on and off,

refer to page 77.

Switching on/off

To reactivate the high-beam Assistant, press

the button on the turn signal lever.

Press button.

The green indicator light lights up if

the front fog lights are switched on.
