I always thought there was a little switch under the bonnet on each headlight which altered them.. that might be on the W176 models mind... if they change automatically due to GPS that's pretty awesome. Maybe put in a quick call to the dealer. Just ensure you have a high vis jacket in the boot.

Yes I can 100% confirm that the multi-beams auto adjust, e.g. UK cars driving on the continent.

Sorry I can't comment on the non-multibeams but I'd imagine they work similarly.

How do i know if I have the multibeam. Apologies if this level of question is equal to how do I know if it is hot

If you have the Premium Plus package you have multi-beams. Also, there is a little badge in the headlamp cluster itself labelled multibeam.

Thank you I only have the premium so probably not.

Some of the posts are misleading as the standard headlamps do not "Auto Adjust". They do not need to adjust as they are already to the legal requirement.
In the Uk you can have (but it is not mandated) a raised part of the dipped beam to the left, to illuminate the footpath and road signs. This would be in the eyes of the oncoming drivers if you took it to Europe.
Yes older cars had a lever to move shutter built into the headlight to blank the raised (UK) bit, or you could put a sticker to blank it yourself.
The modern A-Class has a flat top to the dipped beam making it legal in the UK and Europe, no adjustment needed
The premium lights mentioned above do auto adjust for Motorway/Urban/Roundabouts and the multibeam ones allow you to stay on Main Beam by blanking out the part that would dazzle oncoming driver.

Well that settles it thank you Ben&Sandy
