The system is not fully functional in the following
situations, and driver intervention may be neces‐
sary:
▷ In very unfavorable weather conditions, such
as fog or heavy precipitation.
▷ When detecting poorly-lit road users such as
pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders and
wagons; when driving close to train or ship
traffic; or at animal crossings.
▷ In tight curves, on hilltops or in depressions,
in crossing traffic or half-obscured oncoming
traffic on highways.
▷ In poorly-lit towns and cities or in the pres‐
ence of highly reflective signs.
▷ When the windshield in front of the interior
mirror is fogged over, dirty or covered with
stickers, etc.
Laser high beams
Concept
The range of the high beams is increased and
ensures an even better illumination of the road.
General information
When the high beams are switched-on, starting
with a speed of approx. 37 mph/60 km/h, the la‐
ser high beams in the headlight are automatically
switched on in addition to the LED high beams.
Depending on the country variant, further infor‐
mation can be obtained from the laser label on
the headlight.
Safety information
The label is in the headlight and is visible from
the outside.
Fog lights
Front fog lights
Concept
The front fog lights work alongside the low
beams to illuminate a wider area of the roadway.
Functional requirement
The low beams must be switched on before
switching on the front fog lights.
Switching on/off
Press the button.
The green indicator light in the instru‐
ment cluster lights up if the front fog
lights are switched on.
If the automatic headlight control is activated, the
low beams will come on automatically when you
switch on the front fog lights.
When the high beams or headlight flasher are
activated, the front fog lights are not switched
on.
