Changing a bulb

Topic introduction
Read the additional information carefully
›››

page 53.
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical skill.
If you choose to change the engine compart-
ment lamps yourself, remember that it is a
›››
dangerous area in Working in the en-
gine compartment on page 348.
Always use identical bulbs with the same
designation. The name can be found on the
base of the bulb holder.
Depending on how equipped the vehicle is,
there are different sets of headlights and tail
lights:
Halogen headlights.
●
Full-LED main headlights*
●
Rear bulb light
●
Fuses and bulbs
LED rear light*
●
Full-LED headlight system*
Full-LED headlights handle all light functions
(daylight, side light, turn signal, dipped beam
and route light) with light emitting diodes
(LEDs) as a light source.
Full-LED headlights are designed to last the
lifetime of the car and light bulbs cannot be
replaced. In case of headlight failure, go to an
authorised workshop to have it replaced.
WARNING
Take particular care when working on
●
components in the engine compartment if
the engine is warm. Risk of burns.
Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
●
glass can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
When changing bulbs, please take care
●
not to injure yourself on sharp edges, in
particular on the headlight housing.
CAUTION
Remove the ignition key before working
●
on the electric system. Otherwise, a short
circuit could occur.
Switch off the lights and the parking light
●
before changing a bulb.
Take good care to avoid damaging any
●
components.
For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to
dispose of used bulbs in the proper manner.
Note
Please check at regular intervals that all
●
lighting (especially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also that of all other road users.
Before changing a bulb, make sure you
●
have the correct new bulb.
Do not touch the glass part of the bulb
●
with your bare hands, use a cloth or paper
towel instead, since the fingerprints left on
the glass will vaporise as a result of the
heat generated by the bulb, they will be
deposited on the reflector and will impair
its surface.
Depending on the level of equipment fit-
●
ted in the vehicle, LEDs may be used for
part or all of the interior and/or exterior
lighting. LEDs have an estimated life that
exceeds than that of the car. If an LED light
fails, go to an authorised workshop for its
replacement.
