The high voltage element of gas discharge

bulbs* (xenon light) must be handled correct-
ly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
When changing bulbs, please take care not
●
to injure yourself on sharp parts in the head-
light housing.
CAUTION
● Remove the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights be-
fore you change a bulb.
For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
pose of used bulbs in the proper manner.
Note
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or
wet), the front lights, the fog lights, the tail
lights and the turn signals may be temporari-
ly misted. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam
of light is projected will quickly be demisted.
However, the edges may continue to be mis-
ted.
Please check at regular intervals that all
●
lighting (especially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is

but also that of all other road users.

Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
●
your bare hands, use a cloth or paper towel
instead. The residue left by the fingerprints
would vaporise as a result of the heat gener-
ated by the bulb, they will be deposited on
the reflector and will impair its surface.
