Partially masking headlamps – left-hand/
right-hand traffic
Do not use any sharp objects to remove the
adhesive tape again. Otherwise, you may damage
the lens of the headlamp.
In countries in which traffic does not drive on the
same side of the road as in the country where the
vehicle is registered, mask the headlamps. This
ensures that oncoming traffic will not be dazzled.
With the masked headlamps, the edge of the car‐
riageway will no longer be illuminated as far or as
high.
When you are using the vehicle in other coun‐
tries, observe the legal requirements for the
country you are currently in.
The responsibility for vehicle lighting rests with
you at all times.
Vehicles with xenon headlamps: Before cross‐
ing the border into such countries, have your
headlamps converted promptly at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop as close to the border as possi‐
ble. On your return journey, have the xenon head‐
lamps changed back to asymmetrical low beam
at a qualified specialist workshop as close to the
border as possible.
Vehicles with halogen headlamps: Before
crossing the border into such countries, mask
halogen headlamps as close to the border as pos‐
sible in accordance with the following specifica‐
tions from Mercedes-Benz. Make adhesive strips
using a commercially available, opaque self-adhe‐
sive foil and mask the relevant areas of the head‐
lamp.
When making the return journey, remove the
adhesive strips as close as possible to the border
crossing.
