Night Security Illumination
When exiting the vehicle after driving
with the exterior lamps on, the
headlamps (fog lamps on vehicles with
optional Xenon lamps) switch on for
added security for approximately 30
seconds after closing the last door. The
lamp-on time period can be changed at
your Mercedes-Benz, dealer.
Inside Rear View Mirror
Manually adjust the mirror.
Use your inside mirror to determine the
size and distance of objects seen in the
passenger side convex mirror.
Antiglare Night Position
With the key in steering lock position
2, the mirror reflection brightness
responds to changes in light sensitivity.
With gear selector lever in position
"R", or with the interior lamp switched
on, the mirror brightness does not
respond to changes in light sensitivity.
Note:
The automatic antiglare function is
restricted, if incoming light is not
aimed directly at sensors in the mirror.
