Intelligent light system headlights for travelling in France

Hi planning to go France this Thursday and only found out about having to adapt headlights for driving in France.


I have a w205 c200 2015 registration with intelligent light system and only seen the rules of the headlights.

How do I set the headlamps to symmetrical dipped beam?

Sorry Im clueless and only had the car a few months.

Confusing reading that some threads mention nothing needs to be done some say they need to be set and some say need to have a sticker.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated


Thanks in advance

I don't think that this rule apply to you as a foreigner as well? I checked with NAF in Norway (same as ADAC i Germany), they don't say anything about this for driving in France. They have a list of rules and things to check before going on roadtrips in different countries.

Just disable ILS in the configuration menu.
