Removing/installing taillights
Replacing the bulbs in the tail lamp assembly
We recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other
expert help in the event of any uncertainties.
▶
Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
▶
Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
Visit a specialist garage if an LED diode is faulty.
WARNING
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
■
engine compartment » page 79, Engine compartment.
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
■
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
Bulbs H15, H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changed -
■
there is a risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and
safety glasses when changing a bulb.
CAUTION
Do not touch the glass bulb with your fingers (even the smallest amount of
■
dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth, napkin, or
similar.
The cap of the filament bulb must always be seated correctly in the head-
■
light, otherwise this may allow water and debris to enter the headlight - There
is risk of damage to the headlights.
Notice
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
■
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
■
hicle.
