necessary to change the headlamps. The legal
requirements are also met in countries where
people drive on the other side of the road.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System: Before
crossing the border into countries where they
drive on the other side of the road, it is neces‐
sary to set the headlamps to symmetrical dipped
beam (→ page 114).

Lighting systems and your responsibility
The various lighting systems of the vehicle are
only aids. The driver of the vehicle is responsible
for correct vehicle illumination in accordance
with the prevailing light and visibility conditions,
legal requirements and traffic situation.
