Failure or malfunction in the dynamic headlight range control can cause the headlights to dazzle or distract other  
road users. This can lead to accidents and serious injuries.  
Have the headlight range control checked by a correspondingly qualified workshop as soon as possible.  
Switching over headlights for driving abroad (travel mode)  
If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the dipped beam headlights  
may dazzle oncoming traffic. On vehicles with dynamic headlight range control, the alignment of the headlights can  
be adjusted in the vehicle settings for vehicles in the Infotainment system (travel mode) (→ Vehicle settings menu).  
Therefore you must apply stickers to certain parts of the headlight lenses if you are driving abroad in a vehicle  
without dynamic headlight range control. Contact a suitably qualified workshop for further information.  
The films on the headlights may only be used for a short period. Please contact a suitably qualified workshop  
for a permanent alteration.
