MAGIC SKY CONTROL General notes MAGIC SKY CONTROL is a glass roof, the transparency of which can be changed by applying electrical voltage. MAGIC SKY CONTROL can be switched between darkened and transparent states. i MAGIC SKY CONTROL darkens automat- ically when you turn the key to position 0
in the ignition lock or remove the key.Risk of electric shock G DANGER The MAGIC SKY CONTROL electrical system works under high voltage. If the covering behind the overhead control panel is damaged or removed, electric com- ponents of the MAGIC SKY CONTROL system
will be exposed. These components could be live. If you touch these components, you could receive an electric shock, which could cause a severe or fatal injury. For this reason, never remove the covering behind the overhead control panel. Never touch electrical system components (control unit, cables or cable connections). Always have any work on the MAGIC SKY CONTROL carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
The electrical components of MAGIC SKY CONTROL are protected by a covering behind the overhead control panel. The MAGIC SKY CONTROL control unit has a yellow high-voltage warning sticker. The high- voltage cables are orange.

They could adjust the seats and become trapped. G WARNING Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted from the road and traffic conditions and you could lose control of the vehicle as a result of the seat moving. This could cause an acci- dent. G WARNING If you adjust the seat height carelessly, you or others could be trapped and thereby injured. Children in particular could unintentionally press the buttons to electrically adjust the seats and become trapped. Take care that: Rwhile moving the seats, your hands do not
get under the lever assembly of the seat adjustment system.
Rchildren in the vehicle do not slide their
hands under the levers. G WARNING Make sure that nobody can become trapped when adjusting the seats. Observe the notes on airbags. Secure children as recommended; see the "Children in the vehicle" section. G WARNING Make sure that nobody can become trapped when adjusting the seats. Observe the notes on airbags. Secure children as recommended; see the "Children in the vehicle" section.
G WARNING Make sure that the back of your head is sup- ported at eye level by the central area of the head restraint. If your head is not supported correctly by the head restraint, you could suf- fer a severe neck injury in the event of an accident. Never drive if the head restraints are not engaged and set correctly. G WARNING A seat belt can only offer its intended degree of protection when the backrest is almost ver- tical and the occupant is sitting upright. Avoid seat positions that do not allow the seat belt to be routed correctly. Adjust the backrest so that it is as upright as possible. Never travel with the backrest reclined too far backwards. You could otherwise be seriously or even fatally injured in the event of an accident or sudden braking.

Exterior lighting General notes For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom- mends that you drive with the lights switched on even during the daytime. In some coun- tries, operation of the headlamps varies due to legal requirements and self-imposed obli- gations.
Driving abroad Symmetrical dipped-beam headlamps If your journey takes you to countries where vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the road to the country in which the vehicle is registered, your headlamps must be switched to symmetrical dipped beam. This prevents oncoming traffic from being dazzled. Sym- metrical lights do not illuminate as large an area of the edge of the carriageway. Convert the headlamps as close to the border as possible before driving in these countries (Y page 234).
Asymmetrical dipped beam Convert the headlamps back to asymmetrical dipped beam as soon as possible after cross- ing the border (Y page 234). If the headlamps are converted to symmetri- cal dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and
"extended range foglamps" functions (Intelli- gent Light System) are not available.
Setting the exterior lighting Setting options Exterior lighting can be set using the: Rlight switch Rcombination switch (Y page 129) Ron-board computer (Y page 234)
