TroubleshootingPractical advice
Do not change Xenon bulbs yourself, but have
them replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop which has
the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required.
We recommend an authorized Sprinter Dealer
for this purpose. In particular, work relevant
to safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
R To prevent short circuits, switch off the
lighting system before changing a bulb.
R Only touch new bulbs with a clean, lint-free
cloth or similar. Do not work with wet or
greasy fingers.
R Only install 12 V bulbs of the same type and
of the correct wattage.
R Have the headlamp setting checked
regularly.
R If the new bulb still does not light up consult
a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
R Have the following LEDs and bulbs replaced
at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an
authorized Sprinter Dealer:
-the additional turn signals in the exterior
mirrors
- the high-mounted brake lamp
- the Bi-Xenon bulbs
- the fog lamps
! Make sure the bulbs are always securely
installed. Changing bulbs
