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.
In the unlikely event that one of these 
lamps should fail, you can respond by 
switching on your fog lamps and proceed-
ing carefully, where allowed by law. 
To avoid the risk of potentially fatal 
injuries: owing to the extremely high 
voltages at which these units operate, ser-
vice work on the xenon lighting system 
should always be entrusted to qualified 
personnel.<
