Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, we recommend
having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other expert help in the
event of any uncertainties.
›
Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
›
Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
›
A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in the
spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
■
engine compartment » page
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not sufficiently
■
illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty by other
road users.
Bulbs H7 H8 and H15 are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb
■
- risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety glasses
when changing a bulb.
Gas discharge bulbs (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage, professional
■
knowledge is required – risk of death!

The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is re-
■
placed.
CAUTION
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest amount
of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth, napkin, or sim-
ilar.
