Mercedes-Benz ML320. Manual - part 222

 Fog and other lighting influences, e.g., due to oncoming traffic, do not have any effect on the automatic 

driving light actuation. 

 Automatic driving light actuation when starting a journey and during it  



Automatic driving light actuation with driving lights is only possible when the engine is running (circuit 
61 ON).  



When the engine is switched off and the electronic starter switch is in position "2" (circuit 15 ON) only 
the side lamps and the license plate lamps are actuated.  



Driving light actuation is disabled as soon as one of the basic prerequisites changes, e.g. when changing 
from darkness to daylight after driving through a tunnel.  

 Automatic driving light actuation at the end of a journey or in darkness  



After switching off the engine (circuit 61 OFF) and when the electronic starter switch is in position 
"2" (circuit 15 ON), only the side lamps and the license plate lamps remain on.  



The exterior lighting is switched off as of key position "1" (circuit 15R).  

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ACTUATION, FUNCTION - GF82.10-P-3005GH 

MODEL 163 as of 01.09.01  

With daytime running lamps the low beam, the side lamps and the license plate lamps are switched on if the 
engine is running (there are national variants). 

Function prerequisites:  



Circuit 61 "ON"  

 In "AUTO" position of the exterior lamp switch daytime running lamps and automatic driving lights are 

OR gated, i.e. depending on the prerequisites daytime running lamps or automatic driving lights are switched 
on. 

 For the daytime running lamp conditions, there is no difference between the positions "0" and "AUTO" of 

the exterior lamp switch. 

Corresponding to the national legislation, the daytime running lamps can be coded in different variants via 
Star Diagnosis.
