BulbsInformation on bulbsThe failure of a bulb is sig-
nalled in the display by the
defective lamp symbol. If the
brake or rear light fails, the
general warning light also
lights up yellow.
If the rear light fails, the brake
light is used as a substitute in that the luminosity of the
second glow filament is
reduced to rear light level. Fail-
ure of the rear light is still
shown in the display.
In the event of a lamp
failure, there can be
problems seeing and being
seen.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; preferably
always carry appropriate
reserve lamps.c

of the types of bulb used
on (
b 136).c

Maintenance6106
Do not touch the glass of
new bulbs with your
fingers. Use a clean, dry cloth
when fitting. Dirt deposits, in
particular oil and grease,
interfere with heat radiation
from the bulb. This will result in
overheating and therefore
shorten the service life of the
bulbs.c

used on (
