Adaptive Highbeam Assist - Mercedes-Benz CLS 2015 Operator's Manual

The hazard warning lamps automatically
switch on if:
an air bag is deployed or
R
the vehicle decelerates rapidly from a
R
speed of above 45 mph (70 km/h) and
comes to a standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off auto-
matically if the vehicle reaches a speed of
above 6 mph (10 km/h) again after a full
brake application.
i
The hazard warning lamps still operate if
the ignition is switched off.
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 vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the low-beam headlamps
are switched on.
Active:
if you are driving at speeds below 25 mph
R
(40 km/h) and switch on the turn signal or
turn the steering wheel
if you are driving at speeds between
R
25 mph (40 km/h) and 45 mph (70 km/h)
and turn the steering wheel
The cornering lamp may remain lit for a short
time, but is automatically switched off after
no more than three minutes.
Cornering light function with traffic circle
function:
The cornering light function is activated on
both sides before entering a traffic circle
through an evaluation of the current GPS
position of the vehicle. It remains active until
after the vehicle has left the traffic circle. In
this way, pedestrians crossing the road, for
example, are illuminated by your vehicle in
good time.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist

General notes
You can use this function to set the head-
lamps to change between low beam and high
beam automatically. The system recognizes
vehicles with their lights on, either approach-
ing from the opposite direction or traveling in
front of your vehicle, and consequently
switches the headlamps from high beam to
low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low-
beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system
no longer detects any other vehicles, it reac-
tivates the high-beam headlamps.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control
panel.
