Hi to all I would like to ask if there is an option in the car menu to only work the front lights manually and not automatically...

I go into the garage several times a day and they flash for no reason. No matter how much I've searched the car menu I haven't been able to find anything

the car is a facelift if that matters..

I have no idea what year you have or what country you are in. But most of these cars have no off switch. Therefore there would be no Menu option. You may be able to code it.
My suggestion would be don’t let the lights coming on bother you.

so your lights flash whenever you approach the car?
only time my lights do anything automatically is when lock/unlock car or if I open a door if I've left the car unlocked.

We aren’t reading this the same way. I take it to mean that he drives into the garage several times a day. Why else would he be asking about a manual switch?

🤦🏽‍♂️
lol that makes sense, the bit where he mentions they flash for on reason threw me.

Ich komme aus dem wunderschönen Griechenland! Vor ein paar Tagen habe ich das Auto Facelift C 180 122 PS gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden
Zu unserem Thema: Ich glaube nicht, dass es einen Grund dafür gibt, dass das Abblendlicht an einem sonnigen Tag ein- und ausgeschaltet wird, weil der Lichtdetektor vielleicht etwas Dunkelheit erfasst hat ... oder wenn ich reingehe Raus aus der Garage, die offen ist.
Über den Autoschalter gibt es keine Möglichkeit, es auszuschalten, und ich frage, ob es eine Menüoption gibt ... oder auf andere Weise

On our topic: I don't think there's any reason for the low beams to turn on and off on a sunny day because maybe the light detector picked up some darkness...or when I walk in out of the garage that open is.
There's no way to turn it off via the car switch, and I'm asking if there's a menu option...or some other way.

only way I know of turning off auto lights is by the switch, you could get it coded out but nothing in the actual car menus offer this as far as I know


the switch under drivers air vent.

As said above, the light switch has no OFF position. The lights in MB cars are always on. The only way to turn them off is to leave it in Auto, and then they turn off when not needed. So yes, the lights turn on as well when I start the car in the garage, and then they turn off shortly after I'm outside. No big deal. I don't even pay attention to it. I have the exterior light delay turned on anyway, so the lights turn on for various reasons when unlocking the car etc.

I can see there being a concern if yours has the Halogen lights as those will eventually burn out, but with the LED lights it's not gonna significantly shorten their lifetime.

Actually you can put the lights into one of the parking positions and they will be completely off with engine running, they will however turn on for the chosen side once the car is turned off.
