Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, we recom-
mend 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 compart-
ment.
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 suffi-
■
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty 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, professio-
■
nal knowledge is required – risk of death!
Switch off the respective vehicle light when changing the bulb.
■
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 similar.
