Important safety notes
Forreasons of safety, Mercedes-Benzrecom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations.Inthese countries, constant head-
lamp mode is automatically switched on
when the engine is started.
Notes on driving abroad
Convert to symmetrical dipped beam
when driving abroad: switch the headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam in countries in
which traffic drives on the opposite side of the
road to the country where the vehicle is reg-
istered. This prevents glare to oncoming traf-
fic. Symmetrical lights do not illuminate as
large an area of the edge of the carriageway.
Have the headlamps converted at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz
Service Centre, as close to the border as pos-
sible before driving in these countries.
Convert to asymmetrical dipped beam
after returning: have the headlamps conver-
ted back to asymmetrical dipped beam at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-BenzService Centre, as soon as
possible after crossing the border and return-
ing to the original country.
