Washer fluidsHeadlamp
* and windshield
washer system
Approximate capacity is 5.6 US quarts
(5.3 liters).
Fill with water and Ð if required Ð with a
washer antifreeze (according to manu-
facturer's recommendations).
We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before adding it to
the reservoir.<
Antifreeze agents or intensive-
cleaning washer fluids for the
washer systems are highly flammable.
For this reason, keep them away from
sources of flame and store only in orig-
inal containers. Store them inaccessible
to children. Comply with the instruc-
tions on the containers.<

When cleaning the headlamps,
please observe the following:

cloth (scratches). Never use abra-
sives or strong solvents to clean the
covers

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. If one of these bulbs should
nevertheless fail, it is possible to
continue driving with great caution
using the fog lamps, provided local
traffic laws do not prohibit this.
Because of the extremely high
voltages involved, any work on the
lighting system should be carried out by
technically-qualified personnel only.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury.<
