Light and vision
When replacing the bulb, comply with the follow‐
ing:
Do not use any bulb that has been dropped or
R
has scratches on its glass tube. Otherwise,
the bulb may explode.
The bulb may explode if you touch it, if it is
R
hot, if you drop it or if you scratch it.
Stains on the glass tube reduce the bulb's
R
service life. Do not touch the glass tube with
your bare hands. If necessary, clean the glass
tube with alcohol or spirits in a cold state and
wipe it down with a lint-free cloth.
Protect bulbs from humidity and do not bring
R
them into contact with liquids.
Always ensure the bulbs are firmly secured.
If you vehicle is equipped with LED lamps, you
can check this as follows: the light cone will move
from top to bottom and back again when the
engine starts. For this to work, the low beam
needs to have been switched on before the
engine is started.
Bulbs and lights are a major element in vehicle
safety. Therefore, ensure that they are always
working. Have the headlamp setting checked reg‐
ularly.
Before changing the lamps, switch off the
R
vehicle's lighting system. You can thus avoid
a short circuit.
Use bulbs only in closed lights that have been
R
designed for them.
Use only spare bulbs of the same type and
R
with the correct voltage.
If the new bulb also does not light up, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
