you could suffer an electric shock and be seri-
ously or even fatally inju red. For this reason,
do not remove the cover of xenon bulbs.
Do not change the xenon bulbs yourself, but
have them replaced at aqualified workshop.
If your vehicle is equipped with xenon bulbs,
you can recognise this by the following :the
con eoflight from the xenon bulbs moves
from the top to the bottom and back again
when you start the engine. For this to be observed, the lights must be switched on
before starting the engine.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times.

ethe headlamp setting checked regularly.
