Mercedes Benz CL500 review

Here's a tip to help you enjoy your 2008 Mercedes Benz CL500 for years to come. Note; death rates for nighttime driving are 4 times higher than daytime driving. Slow down and leave wider space cushions between you and other drivers when you encounter bad weather, narrow twisting roads or low light conditions. When night driving in your new Mercedes Benz CL500 remember even with CL500 headlights it can be difficult to detect pedestrians, bicyclists and others. Use your headlights between the hours of sunset and sunrise or get the Mercedes Benz option for driving lights. For the best visibility, use your high beams when you are over 500 feet from oncoming vehicles or 300 feet behind the vehicles ahead. Fog or smoke turn on your low-beam headlights and fog lights (if your vehicle is equipped with them). Be prepared to stop suddenly.
