Useful information

els, series and optional equipment for your

Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations.
Driving abroad
General notes
If your journey takes you to countries where
vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the
road to the country in which the vehicle is
registered, your headlamps must be switched
to symmetrical dipped beam as soon as pos-
sible after crossing the border (exception:
vehicles with halogen headlamps). This pre-
vents oncoming traffic from being dazzled.
Symmetrical lights do not illuminate as large
an area of the edge of the carriageway.
Vehicles with halogen headlamps
It is not necessary to switch your headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam when driving in
countries where vehicles are driven on the
opposite side of the road to the country in
which the vehicle is registered. Legal require-
ments are fulfilled without switching the
headlamps to symmetrical dipped beam.
