Exterior lighting

General notes

For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-

mends that you drive with the lights switched

on even during the daytime. Therefore, your

vehicle is equipped with special daytime run-

ning lamps. In some countries, operation of

the headlamps varies due to legal require-

ments 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 238).

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 sym-

metrical 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 asym-

metrical low-beam headlamps at a qualified

specialist workshop as soon as possible after

crossing the border again.
