Replacing bulbs

The front and rear light clusters of your vehicle
are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not
replace the LED light sources of your vehicle
yourself. Contact a qualified specialist work-
shop which has the necessary specialist knowl-
edge and tools to carry out the work required.
Lamps are an important aspect of vehicle safety.
You must therefore make sure that these func-
tion correctly at all times. Have the headlamp
setting checked regularly.

Do not operate the windshield wipers when

the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-

dry.
