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 (option 524) 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 dipped-beam headlights and side lights (E70, E92, E93: daytime driving lights) are always switched on:

• Light switch in position "2"
• Terminal 15 ON

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.

System functions for "Daytime lights" option when the light switch is set to position "A":

• If the vehicle is encoded with the "Daytime driving lights" option (end of production line), the light switch can remain in position "A" at all times.

  When terminal R is switched on, the side lights, parking lights and licence plate lighting are switched on.

  As soon as terminal 15 is switched on, the dipped headlights are also switched on.

• When the dipped headlights are switched on, the control unit for adaptive headlights is activated (for automatic headlight-range adjustment).
• The indicator lamp on the light switch lights up and indicates that the system is functional.
• The adaptive headlights turn when the vehicle is stationary if the steering wheel is turned (to the right only).
• The headlights are moved when the vehicle corners if the rain - light sensor registers darkness.

The switch-on conditions for the adaptive headlights in conjunction with special equipment "Daytime driving lights" are as follows:

• The vehicle must be encoded with the "Daytime driving lights" option (end of production line)
• The light switch must be in position "A"
• Terminal 15 must be switched on and reverse gear must not be engaged
• Rain-light sensor must detect darkness
