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 risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries: owing to the extremely high volt-
ages at which these units operate, service work should always be entrusted to quali-
fied personnel.<

Park the vehicle as far as possible from
passing traffic. Park on a firm, flat, surface.

mission's selector lever to P.
Have all vehicle occupants get out of the

the immediate area in a safe place, such as
behind a guardrail.
If a warning triangle or portable hazard
warning lamp is required, set it up on the
roadside at an appropriate distance from
the rear of the vehicle.
