Important safetynotes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benzrecom-
mends that you drivewith the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirementsand self-imposed obli-
gations. In these countries, the daytime driv-
ing lights are automatically switchedonwhen
the engineisstarted.
Notes on driving abroad
Converting to symmetrical dipped beam
when drivingabroad: switch the headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam in countries in
which traffic drives on the opposite side of the
road to the countrywhere the vehicle is reg-
istered. This prevents oncoming traffic from
being dazzled.Symmetrical lights do not illu-
minate as large an area of the edgeofthe
carriageway.
Convert the headlamps as close to the border
as possible before drivinginthese countries
(Y page 206).
Converting to asymmetricaldipped beam
after returning: convertthe headlamps back
to asymmetrical dipped beam as soon as pos-
sible after crossing the border when returning
(Y page 206).
Vehicleswith Intelligent Light System: if
the headlamps are converted to symmetrical
dipped beam, not all light functions are avail-
able. "Motorway mode" and the "extended
range foglamps" are deactivated.
