Replacing bulbs
The front and rear lamps of your vehicle are
equipped with LED bulbs. Do not replace the
bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified specialist
workshop, which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times. Have
the headlamp setting checked regularly.

blades or scratch the windscreen.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windscreen wipers in dry weather.
