Changing the windscreen wiper
blade. Perfect wiper blade condition is essential for
clear vision. Damaged wiper blades should
be replaced immediately. To change the blades it is necessary to move
the wipers from the rest position into the
service position.
Do not change the windscreen wipers when
out of the service position, as it could cause
paint to flake off the bonnet due to friction
with the windscreen wiper arm.
Service position (for changing wiper blades)
–
Ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen.
– Turn the ignition on and off and then (with-
in approximately 9 seconds) push the
windscreen wiper lever down (short wipe).

the wiper blade from the wiper arm.
Fitting the wiper blade – Insert the wiper blade onto the windscreen
wiper arm until it clicks into place.

itial position.
If the windscreen wipers scratch , they should
be replaced if they are damaged, or cleaned
if they are soiled. If this does not produce the desired results,
the setting angle of the windscreen wiper
arms might be incorrect. They should be
checked by a specialised workshop and cor-
rected if necessary.
WARNING
Do not drive unless you have good visibility
through all windows!
● Clean the windscreen wiper blades and all
windows regularly.
● The wiper blades should be changed once
or twice a year. CAUTION

Fuses and bulbs
Fuses and bulbs Fuses Introduction Due to the constant updating of vehicles,
fuse assignments based on equipment and
the use of the same fuse for various electrical
components, it is not possible to provide an
up-to-date summary of the fuse positions for
the electrical components at the time this
manual was printed. For detailed information
about the fuse positions, please consult a
technical service.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible.
Additional information and warnings:
● Working in the engine compartment
››› page 166 . WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
give serious electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!
● Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion system.
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridging a current circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury.
● Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only
replace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
● Never repair a fuse.
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or similar. CAUTION
● To prevent damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fuse, you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entry of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system. Note
● One component may have more than one
fuse.
● Several components may run on a single
fuse. Vehicle fuses
Read the additional information carefully

amperage (same colour and markings) and

● Take particular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm, there is a risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glass can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
● The high voltage element of gas discharge
bulbs* (xenon light) must be handled correct-
ly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure yourself on sharp parts in the head-
light housing. Fog light/cornering CAUTION
● Remove the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights be-
fore you change a bulb. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
pose of used bulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or
wet), the front lights, the fog lights, the tail
lights and the turn signals may be temporari-
ly misted. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam
of light is projected will quickly be demisted. »1)
With this type of headlight, the user can replace
the turn signal bulb. Replacement of the dip-
ped/main beam bulb must be done by Technical
Services, given that complex elements must be re-
moved from the vehicle and the automatic control
system that incorporates it must be reset.
2) The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the light flux
and have an average lifespan of 5 times more than
that of halogen bulbs, this means that, except due to
unusual circumstances, there is no need to change
the bulbs for the whole life of the vehicle.
3) In the event that there is a fault in the LEDs, the
complete headlight must be replaced. 197Technical specifications
