Hazard Warning Lamps - Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions Manual

Headlamp range adjustment
The headlamp range control allows you to adjust
the cone of light from the headlamps to suit the
vehicle load. The cone of light changes if the
seats are occupied or if the load compartment is
loaded or unloaded. This can impair visibility and
dazzle oncoming traffic.
You can only adjust the headlamp range while
the engine is running.
i The headlamp range is automatically set for
vehicles with bi-xenon headlamps and for
vehicles with ENR (electronic level control).
X
Turn headlamp range control : to the cor-
responding position. The road should be illu-
minated from 40 m to 100 m and the dipped-
beam headlamps must not dazzle oncoming
vehicles.
If the vehicle is unladen, select position g.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better visi-
bility in tight bends, for example.
The cornering lamps switch on automati-
cally if:
you are travelling at a speed of less than
R
40 km/h and you switch on a turn signal or
turn the steering wheel.
you are travelling at a speed of between
R
40 km/h and 70 km/h and you turn the steer-
ing wheel.
The cornering lamp may remain lit for a short
time, but is automatically switched off after no
more than 3 minutes.
i If reverse gear is engaged the lamp on the
opposite side of the vehicle switches on
instead.
