recommend that bulbs are replaced by a specialist garage or other expert help is
sought.
›
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.
›
A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in the
spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the boot.
WARNING
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not sufficiently
■
illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty by other
road users.
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
■
engine compartment » page
Bulbs 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 take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
■
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth, nap-
kin, or similar.
When removing and installing the number plate light and tail light make sure
■
that the paintwork of the vehicle and the tail light are not damaged.
