drive on the other side of the road than

tered, you must have the headlamps
modified for symmetrical low beams.

at your authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

Vehicles equipped with active Bi-Xe-
non* headlamps: The active Bi-Xenon
headlamps monitor your steering angle
and driving speed, then automatically
shift their beams to either side to bet-
ter follow the curvature of the road
ahead, increasing usable illumination
over conventional headlamps.
