National versions
The options "Daytime driving lights" and "Manual headlight-range adjustment" are available in certain countries.
Vehicles with manual headlight-range adjustment do not have adaptive headlights.
This is because vehicles with manual headlight-range adjustment have halogen dipped headlights;
adaptive headlights are only available in conjunction with option 522 "Xenon dipped and main-beam headlights".
Switching on adaptive headlights in conjunction with daytime driving lights function
The "Daytime lights" option (Northern Europe and Canada) means that
The dipped headlights and the side lights are always switched on under the following conditions:
•
Light switch in position "2"
•

The automatic headlight-range adjustment is active (actuated by the control unit for adaptive headlights).
If terminal 15 is switched off, the dipped headlights and the side lights are automatically switched off as well.
The light switch must also be set to position "A" with the "Daytime driving lights" option. The control unit for
adaptive headlights is then in standby.

headlight-range adjustment).
•
