Exterior lighting

General notes

For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz

recommends that you drive with the lights

switched on even during the daytime.

Therefore, your vehicle is equipped with

special daytime running lamps. In some

countries, operation of the headlamps varies

due to legal requirements and self-imposed

obligations.

If you wish to drive during the daytime without

lights, switch off the daytime running lamps

function in the on-board computer

(Y page 250).

Driving abroad

Symmetrical low-beam headlamps

Switch the headlamps to symmetrical low

beam in countries in which traffic drives on

the opposite side of the road from the country

where the vehicle is registered. This prevents

glare to oncoming traffic. When using

symmetrical lights, the edge of the road is not

lit as widely and as far ahead as normal.

Have the headlamps converted at a qualified

specialist workshop as close to the border as

possible before driving in these countries.

Asymmetrical low beam

Have the headlamps converted back to

asymmetrical low-beam headlamps at a

qualified specialist workshop as soon as

possible after crossing the border again.
