Dynamic headlight range control  
The headlight range cannot be adjusted manually if the vehicle has dynamic headlight range control. The headlight  
range is automatically adapted to suit the vehicle load level as soon as the headlights are switched on  
.
WARNING  
Heavy objects in the vehicle can cause the headlights to dazzle and distract other road users. This can lead to  
accidents and serious injuries.  
Always adapt the light cone to the load level of the vehicle to avoid dazzling other road users.  
WARNING  
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.

Instrument and switch lighting  
The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting can be adjusted in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment  
system (→ Vehicle settings menu).  
The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the vehicle.  
When the light switch is in position  
, a sensor will switch the dipped beam and the lighting in the instruments  
and switches on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness level.  
When the lights are switched off and the ignition switched on, the instrument and switch lighting(needles  
and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower, the lighting of these scales is automatically  
reduced and may be switched off entirely. This function is intended to remind the driver to switch on the  
dipped beam in good time, i.e. when driving through tunnels.
