AutoBrightness

First time MB owner, I recently purchased a 2017 c300. I currently have my lights on auto mode to turn on and off, however I was under the understanding that this has auto brights and dim, much like the wipers have an auto sensor. If so can you all tell me how to activate this?

Also and other newbie tips and tricks for anything else would be appreciated!

Are you talking about auto high beam? If so, if you have headlights that have dual projectors, then yes you have that option. If you only have one projector for the low beam and reflectors for the high beam, then you don't have that option.

If u have mb’s intellegent lighting system, all u have to do us push the high beam lever forward, and a blue highbeam icon on the dash with a capitol A will appear(close to the cruise control icon)
If you look outside the cover of the headlight, it will be written on the cover somewhere “LED Intellegent Light System,” whereas the <$ option states “LED High Performance.”

Is it possible to activate "Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus" additionally?
