on the xenon bulbs. Do not remove hous-

G
Do not change xenon bulbs yourself.
Instead, always have them changed at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you
use an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.
