How to Turn on the High Beam in a Mercedes-Benz?
2 Answers
To turn on the high beam in a Mercedes-Benz, follow these steps: 1. Rotate the light adjuster on the left side of the steering wheel clockwise to the light-on position; 2. Push the control lever on the lower left side of the steering wheel forward to activate the high beam. Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury car brand, and its models include the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, S-Class, G-Class, C-Class, Maybach, etc. Taking the Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2021 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4784mm, width 1810mm, height 1457mm, wheelbase 2920mm, fuel tank capacity 66l, equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
Using the high beams on a Mercedes is actually quite intuitive. I drive the new GLC daily and am very familiar with it. The key is the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel—just push it upward with your finger to switch to high beams, and a blue indicator will light up on the instrument cluster. Pulling the stalk toward you activates the high beam flash for alerting vehicles ahead, which is quick and handy. Mercedes' light stalk features a half-step design: gently holding the stalk keeps the high beams on, and releasing it automatically returns to the default position, making it effortless. If equipped with the Intelligent Light System, high beams will automatically activate when driving over 60 km/h in low-light conditions, using the camera to detect oncoming traffic and streetlights—super convenient. Just remember to switch back to low beams during oncoming traffic, and note that in rain or fog, high beams are less effective than the combination of fog lights.
