⏰ 3-minute Read – Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead in Peoria, AZ, we understand the importance of creating a personalized driving experience. The customizable interior ambient lighting system is one of the most exciting features of many new Mercedes-Benz models. With a spectrum of colors and brightness options, you can enhance your driving environment to match your mood or complement the occasion.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to change the interior ambient lighting in your Mercedes-Benz. Whether setting the tone for a relaxing drive or creating a vibrant atmosphere, adjusting your lighting is as effortless as enjoyable.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with ambient lighting use the MBUX infotainment system to control interior features. To begin, turn on your car and locate the central display screen. Depending on your model, this may be a touchscreen or paired with a touchpad near the center console.
From the home menu, navigate to the “Settings” option, usually represented by a gear icon.
In the settings menu, scroll through the list of options until you find “Ambient Lighting.” Select it to open the customization menu. If you’re having trouble locating this feature, your vehicle’s manual or the digital assistant in MBUX can provide guidance.
Once inside the ambient lighting menu, you’ll see a palette of color options. Depending on your model, you may access up to 64 colors or predefined color schemes.
Mercedes-Benz Ambient Lighting
Single Colors: Opt for a single, solid hue like soft blue, fiery red, or serene purple.
Multi-Color Themes: Many Mercedes-Benz models also offer dynamic themes that transition between multiple colors, creating an eye-catching effect.
Tap on your preferred color or theme, and watch as the interior lights instantly adapt to your choice.
After selecting your color, you can fine-tune the brightness to match your preference. In the ambient lighting menu, look for the “Brightness” slider. Adjust it to dim or intensify the lighting as needed. You can also illuminate specific areas of the cabin, such as the dashboard, door panels, or footwells.
Certain Mercedes-Benz models integrate ambient lighting with the DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes. For example:
Comfort Mode: Displays calming colors to promote a relaxing atmosphere.
Sport Mode: Activates bold, high-energy hues to enhance the thrill of the drive.
Switching drive modes may automatically adjust your ambient lighting to match, adding another layer of sophistication to your experience.
Many Mercedes-Benz vehicles allow you to save your ambient lighting preferences as part of a user profile. This means your favorite settings will be ready whenever you enter the driver’s seat.
