4 Answers
The instruction manual for the ambient lighting in the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L is as follows: 1. 64 colors: The GLC260L offers a total of 64 color options in its ambient lighting system. You can choose a different color each day for two months without repeating. The color change can be actively set according to personal preferences, providing a better driving experience. 2. Five brightness levels: In addition to setting the color, the GLC260L ambient lighting also provides five brightness levels to choose from. During daytime driving, the brightness can be set higher because excessive sunlight may make the ambient lighting less visible. At night, the brightness can be set lower to avoid glare and unnecessary driving hazards. 3. Four zones: The GLC260L ambient lighting can illuminate four zones: the entire vehicle, the front dashboard, the front passenger area, and the rear passenger area. To turn off a specific zone, simply enter the zone option and set the brightness to zero. If you need to turn it on, increase the brightness. Additionally, the power consumption of the ambient lighting is negligible.
I've been driving this car for almost two years, and operating the ambient lighting is actually super simple. After starting the engine, don't rush to drive off—first swipe the central touchscreen with your finger to locate the glowing light bulb icon in 'Settings'. There are three modes to play with: the solid color mode offers 64 color options (my wife loves the violet shade); the multi-color gradient mode makes the lights automatically transition like a flowing rainbow, which is especially refreshing during night highway drives; the coolest is dynamic mode—when signaling a turn, the corresponding door panel light strip pulses like breathing. The touchpad on the left side of the steering wheel allows quick brightness adjustment, and long-pressing the star button enables voice command setup—just say 'ambient lighting ice blue' to activate it. Oh, and when the dashboard light strip is set to maximum brightness, it actually improves nighttime road visibility.
Adjusting ambient lighting isn't as complicated as imagined, with three key control points: the central touchscreen, steering wheel buttons, and voice commands. Beginners should start with the quick-access menu above the AC panel - swipe left/right to find lighting settings, then long-press to save preferred colors. I seasonally rotate hues: cooling ocean blue for summer, warming amber orange for winter. Enable 'dynamic lighting' in audio settings when playing music via Bluetooth, and the LED strips will pulse with bass beats - passengers often compliment this club-like feature. When temporarily exiting and locking the car, the lights gradually dim over 10 seconds, proving exceptionally handy for vehicle location in underground parking.
When I first got the car, I was also at a loss. Actually, most operations are on the central control screen. Open Vehicle Settings - Interior Lighting, and you can freely rotate the 64-color wheel. Adjust the brightness by dragging the moon icon. Let me highlight some practical functions: the automatic light-on when opening the door can be turned off in the settings; there's a night light button next to the mirror adjustment knob; the rear reading lights are linked to the door panel lights, which dim when turned on/off. The most surprising feature is that when navigation is activated, the light strip corresponding to the direction of the fork in the road turns into a flowing arrow effect, which is much more intuitive than looking at the map.
