Practical advice
Changing bulbs
G
Risk of injury
Bulbs and lamps can become very hot. You
should therefore allow them to cool down
before you change them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Never use a bulb which has been dropped.
Such a bulb may explode and injure you.
H7 bulbs are pressurised and may explode
when they are changed. You should there-
fore wear eye protection and gloves when
you are changing them.

Risk of injury
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. Do not re-
move the cover of the xenon bulb. Do not
change the xenon bulbs yourself. You should
have them changed at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Cen-
tre for this purpose. In particular, work rele-
vant to safety or on safety-related systems
must be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Before changing a bulb
Only fit 12V bulbs of the same type as
before and of the correct wattage.
Switch off the lights before changing a
bulb to avoid a short-circuit.
Only hold bulbs with a clean, lint-free
cloth.
Do not work with wet or greasy fingers.
If the new bulb still does not light up,
visit a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Have the LEDs and bulbs specified be-
low replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Serv-
ice Centre. These are the:
additional turn signals in the exteri-
or mirrors
third brake lamp
front foglamp bulbs

Have the headlamp setting checked
regularly.
