The optionally available Intelligent Light System is, literally, a highlight of the E-Class. In dipped-beam mode this system, which is based on the bi-xenon headlamps with active light function, automatically adapts to the given traffic situation. ILS provides wider illumination of the road on country roads and a significantly longer headlamp range on motorways.

The Intelligent Light System also includes enhanced foglamps, an active light function and a cornering light function. It thus combines all the latest developments in the field of lighting technology and marks a new milestone in active safety for evening and night-time driving.
