To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adap‐
tive Light Control does not swivel to the driv‐
er's side when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When driving in reverse, only the turning lamp
is active.
Self-leveling headlamps
The self-leveling headlamps compensate for
acceleration and braking operations in order
not to blind the oncoming traffic and to achieve
optimum illumination of the roadway.
Malfunction
A Check Control message is displayed.
Adaptive light control is malfunctioning or has
failed. Have the system checked as soon as
possible.
Headlamp range control
With halogen headlamps, the headlamp range
of the low beams can be manually adjusted for
the vehicle load to avoid blinding oncoming
traffic.
The values following the slash apply to trailer

High-beam Assistant
The concept
If while in switch position or the low
beams are automatically switched on, this sys‐
tem automatically switches the high beams on
and then off. The procedure is controlled by a
sensor on the front of the interior rearview mir‐
ror. The assistant ensures that the high beams
are switched on whenever the traffic situation
allows. The driver can intervene at any time
and switch the high beams on and off as usual.

traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, e.g., in towns and cities.

ment cluster lights up when the system
