Notes on changing the lights when driving
abroad
Vehicles with static LED headlamps: it is not
necessary to change the headlamps. The legal
requirements are also met in countries in which
traffic drives on the other side of the road.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System: before
crossing the border into countries in which traf‐
fic drives on the other side of the road, it is nec‐
essary to set the headlamps to symmetrical
dipped beam (

page 123).
After the headlamps are changed:
R
oncoming traffic is not dazzled
R
the edge of the road is not illuminated as far
or as high
R
the "motorway mode" and "enhanced fog
light" functions are not available.
The headlamps must be reset to asymmetrical
dipped beam when you return from abroad.
Lighting systems and your responsibility
The various lighting systems of the vehicle are
only aids. The driver of the vehicle is responsible
for correct vehicle illumination in accordance
with the prevailing light and visibility conditions,
