Notes
i
If you drive in countries where vehicles
drive on the other side of the road than the
country where the vehicle is registered, you
must have the headlamps modified for
symmetrical low beams. Relevant
information can be obtained at any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
i
The active Bi-Xenon headlamps monitor
the vehicle’s steering angle and speed,
then automatically shift their beams to
either side to better follow the curvature of
the road ahead, increasing usable
illumination over conventional headlamps.
