Lights and bulbs
General information
Lights and bulbs
Lights and bulbs make an essential contribution
to vehicle safety.
Some items of equipment use light-emitting di‐
odes installed behind a cover as a light source.
These light-emitting diodes are related to con‐
ventional lasers and are officially designated as
Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
that you let a dealer's service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop perform
the work in case of a malfunction.
A spare light box is available from a dealer's serv‐
ice center or another qualified service center or
repair shop.
