Lights
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you drive with the lights
switched on even during the daytime. In
some countries, deviations in the opera-
tion are possible due to legal requirements
and self-imposed obligations. In these
countries, the dipped-beam headlamps
are switched on when the ignition is
switched on. In countries in which daytime
driving lights are not a legal requirement,
you can change this setting via the instru-
ment cluster operating system
(
컄
page 247).
i
If you drive in countries in which traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road to the
country where the vehicle is registered, oncom-
ing traffic may be dazzled by the asymmetrical
dipped-beam headlamps. Have the headlamps
changed to symmetrical dipped beam when driv-
ing in these countries. You can obtain informa-
tion about this from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.

requirement to use daylight driving lights.
If the daytime driving lights are switched
on, the dipped-beam headlamps, side
lamps and licence plate lighting are
switched on when the engine is running.
