164 Light and sight
Function of the off-road light
The off-road light improves illumination during
off-road driving. The low beam is distributed
symmetrically and across a wide angle, and
brightness is increased slightly. This makes it
easier to find your way when driving off-road and
to detect obstacles at an early stage. The active
headlamps are deactivated during this time so
that steering movements do not change the illu‐
mination.
The function is active when the low beam is
switched on if you are not driving at a speed
greater than 50 km/h and the F (Offroad) or
G (Offroad Plus) drive program has been
selected.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus function
& WARNING Risk of accident despite
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not
react to:
road users without lights, e.g. pedes‐
R
trians
road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R
road users whose lighting is obstructed,
R
e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist Plus may fail to recognise other road
users with their own lighting, or may recog‐
nise them too late.
In these, or in similar situations, the auto‐
matic high beam will not be deactivated or
will be activated despite the presence of
other road users.
Always observe the road and traffic
#
conditions carefully and switch off the
high beam in good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Detection may be restricted in the following
cases:
In poor visibility, e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
R
if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
R
are obscured
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is only an aid.
You are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's
lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traf‐
fic conditions.
