Important safety notes
Xenon bulbs
DANGER
G
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You can get
an electric shock if you remove the cover of
the Xenon bulb and touch the electrical con-
tacts. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Never touch the parts or the electrical con-
tacts of the Xenon bulb. Always have work on
the Xenon bulbs carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
You can recognize whether your vehicle is
equipped with Xenon bulbs by the following:
the cone of light from the Xenon bulbs moves
from the top to the bottom and back again
when you start the drive system. Before start-
ing the drive system, you must first switch on
the lights.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.
Other bulbs
G WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very hot
when operating. If you change a bulb, you
could burn yourself on these components.
There is a risk of injury.
