Changing bulbs
Important safety notes
G
DANGER
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You can get
an electric shock if you remove the cover of
the Xenon bulb and touch the electrical con-
tacts. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Never touch the parts or the electrical con-
tacts of the Xenon bulb. Always have work on
the Xenon bulbs carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very hot
when operating. If you change a bulb, you
could burn yourself on these components.
There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before
changing a bulb.
!
Make sure the bulbs are always securely
installed.
If your vehicle is equipped with Bi-Xenon bulbs,
you can recognize this by the following: the cone
of light from the Xenon bulbs moves from the
top to the bottom and back again when you start
the engine. For this to be observed, the low-
beam headlamps must be switched on before
starting the engine.
The bulbs and lamps are an essential compo-
nent of vehicle safety. You must therefore make
sure that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.
R
Always switch off the vehicle's lighting sys-
tem before changing a bulb.
This will prevent a short circuit.
R
Do not touch the glass tube of new bulbs with
your bare hands. Always use a clean, lint-free
cloth or only touch the base of the bulb when
installing.
Even minor contamination can burn into the
glass surface and reduce the service life of the
bulbs.
R
Do not use a bulb that has been dropped or
that has scratches on its glass tube.
The bulb could explode.
R
Only use bulbs in closed lamps which have
been designed for this purpose.
R
Only use spare bulbs of the same type and
with the prescribed voltage
R
Protect the bulbs from moisture when in use.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
