The "Daytime driving lights" and "Manual headlight-range adjustment" equipment are available in certain countries.

Vehicles with manual headlight-range adjustment do not have adaptive headlights (since vehicles with manual headlight-range adjustment have halogen bulbs for the dipped beam headlights; adaptive headlights are only available on vehicles with the "bi-xenon lights" option).

Activating adaptive headlights in conjunction with daytime driving lights

The "Daytime driving lights" option (Northern Europe and Canada) means that

The dipped beam headlights and the side lights are always switched on under the following conditions:

light switch in position "2"
terminal 15 ON

The automatic headlight-range adjustment function is active (controlled by the AHL control unit).

If terminal 15 is switched off, the dipped beam headlights and the side lights are automatically switched off as well.

The light switch must be in position "A" even on vehicles with the "Daytime driving lights" option to enable the adaptive headlights to operate.

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

If the vehicle is coded 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, locator lighting and licence plate lighting are switched on.

When terminal 15 is switched on, the dipped beam headlights are also switched on.
When the dipped beam headlights are switched on, the adaptive headlights control unit is enabled at the same time (for headlight headlight-range adjustment).
The green indicator light on the light switch cluster lights up, indicating that the system is operational.
The adaptive headlights turn when the vehicle is stationary if the steering wheel is turned (to the right only).
If darkness is detected (= signal from rain-light sensor) the headlights are turned when the vehicle is cornering.

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

The vehicle must be coded 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
The rain-light sensor must detect darkness
