General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched on
even during the daytime. In some countries,
operation of the headlamps varies due to legal
requirements and self-imposed obligations.
Driving abroad
General notes
If your journey takes you to countries where
vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the
road to the country in which the vehicle is reg-
istered, your headlamps must be switched to
symmetrical dipped beam as soon as possible
after crossing the border. This prevents oncom-
ing traffic from being dazzled. Symmetrical
lights do not illuminate as large an area of the
edge of the carriageway.
Vehicles with halogen headlamps

on the right/left" function in the on-board

dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and "exten-
