## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the driver may not be able to dim the lights on the instrument panel to a low level. As a result, light from the instrument panel could cause glare while driving at night. Canadian regulations require that the instrument panel lights can be dimmed to a lower level.

Safety Risk:

Glare from bright instrument panel lights could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Mercedes\-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the vehicle software.
