Driving abroad

Quick Access

Only low-octane fuel is available in certain countries.

You can find further information about fuel grades on more.

 

Symmetrical dipped beam

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. Oncoming traffic will be dazzled less.

  

Have the headlamps switched over at a qualified specialist workshop, e. g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Risk of accident

Have your headlamps switched back to asymmetrical dipped beam if you visit a country in which traffic drives on the same side of the road as in the country in which your vehicle was registered. You may otherwise dazzle the oncoming traffic and could cause an accident.
