Notes on changing bulbs
Bulbs and lights are an important aspect
of vehicle safety. You must therefore make
sure that all bulbs are in working order at
all times.
G
Risk of injury
Bulbs and lamps can be very hot. You
should therefore allow them to cool down
before you change them. Otherwise, you
could be burned if you touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children. Oth-
erwise, they could damage them, for exam-
ple, and injure themselves.
Never use a bulb which has been dropped.
Such a bulb may explode and injure you.
H7 bulbs are pressurised and could explode
when you change them, particularly if they
are very hot. You should therefore wear eye
protection and gloves when you are chang-
ing them.
Switch off the lights before changing a
I
bulb to avoid a short-circuit.
I Only touch new bulbs with a clean lint-
free cloth or similar. Do not work with
wet or greasy fingers.
Only fit 12-volt bulbs of the same type
I
as before and of the correct wattage.
I Have the headlamp setting checked
regularly.
I If the new bulb still does not light up,
consult a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
I Have the LEDs in the third brake lamp
changed by a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
!
Make sure the bulbs are always securely
fitted.
