Changing the lights when driving abroad
Vehicles with halogen or static LED headlamps: It is not necessary to change the headlamps. The legal requirements are also met in countries where people drive on the other side of the road.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System: Before crossing the border into countries where they drive on the other side, it is necessary to set the headlamps to symmetrical dipped beam More.
After switching the headlamps:

Regular checking of wheels and tyres
WARNING Risk of accident from damaged tyres
Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.
As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle.
Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tyres immediately.
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to insufficient tyre tread
Insufficient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre grip. The tyre tread is no longer able to dissipate water.
This means that in heavy rain or slush the risk of aquaplaning is increased, in particular where speed is not adapted to suit the conditions.
If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres may exhibit different levels of wear at different locations on the tyre tread.
Thus, you should regularly check the tread depth and the condition of the tread across the entire width of all tyres.
Minimum tread depth for:
Summer tyres:
in (3 mm)M+S tyres:
in (4 mm)
For safety reasons, replace the tyres before the legally prescribed limit for the minimum tread depth is reached.
Carry out the following checks on all wheels regularly, at least once a month or as required, e. g. prior to a long journey or driving off-road:
Check the tyre pressure More.
Visual inspection of wheels and tyres for damage.
Check the valve caps.
The valves must be protected against moisture and dirt by the valve caps approved especially for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
Visual check of the tread depth and the tyre contact surface across the entire width.
The minimum tread depth for summer tyres is
in (3 mm) and for winter tyres in (4 mm).
