When cleaning the headlamps,
please observe the following: do
not wipe dry with a cloth (scratches).
Never use abrasives or strong solvents
to clean the covers. Remove dirt and
contamination (such as insects) by
soaking with BMW Car Shampoo and
then rinsing with plenty of water.
Always use a deicer spray to remove
accumulated ice and snow Ð never use
a scraper.<
Xenon lamps
*
The service life of these bulbs is very
long and the probability of a failure is
very low, provided that they are not
switched on and off an unusual number
of times. Nevertheless, if one of the
lamps should fail, you can continue
driving using the fog lamps if local laws
permit this.
Because of the extremely high
voltages involved, any work on the
lighting system, including bulb replace-
ment, should be performed only by
technicians with the appropriate qualifi-
cations. Failure to comply with this
creates a risk of fatal injury.<
