Illumination of instruments and switches
When the headlights are switched on, the brightness of the instruments and
switch lighting can be regulated to suit your requirements by turning the
switch ⇒ page 110, fig. 71 .
Headlight range control
Using the headlight range control, you can adjust the headlight range to the
load level that is being carried in the vehicle. In this way it is possible to avoid
dazzling oncoming traffic more than necessary. At the same time, the driver
has the best possible lighting for the road ahead using the correct headlight
settings.
The headlights can only be adjusted when the dipped beam is switched on.
To lower the beam, turn the switch down from the basic setting 0.
If the vehicle load does not correspond to those shown in the table, it is
possible to select intermediary positions.
Dynamic headlight range control

range of the headlights adjusts to the vehicle load condition. In these vehi-
cles, the control is not available.

according to the vehicle load using the headlight range control. If not, an
accident may occur.
• Use the switch to lower the light cone, depending on the vehicle load.
