Lamp and bulb replacement
Notes
Lamps and bulbs
Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu‐
tion to vehicle safety.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
that you entrust corresponding procedures to
the service center if you are unfamiliar with them or they are not described here.
You can obtain a selection of replacement
bulbs at the service center.
Danger of burns
Only change bulbs when they are cool;
otherwise, there is the danger of getting
burned.◀
Working on the lighting system
When working on the lighting system,
you should always switch off the lights af‐
fected to prevent short circuits.
To avoid possible injury or equipment damage
when replacing bulbs, observe any instructions
provided by the bulb manufacturer.◀
Do not perform work/bulb replacement
on xenon headlamps
Have any work on the xenon lighting system,
including bulb replacement, performed only by
a service center.
Due to the high voltage present in the system,
there is the danger of fatal injuries if work is
carried out improperly.◀
Do not touch the bulbs
Do not touch the glass of new bulbs with
your bare hands, as even minute amounts of
contamination will burn into the bulb's surface
and reduce its service life.
Use a clean tissue, cloth or something similar,
or hold the bulb by its base.◀
Light-emitting diodes LED
Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu‐
cent lenses serve as the light source for many
of the controls, displays and other equipment
in your vehicle.
These light-emitting diodes, which operate us‐
ing a concept similar to that applied in conven‐
tional lasers, are officially designated as
Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
Do not remove the covers
Do not remove the covers, and never
stare into the unfiltered light for several hours; otherwise, irritation of the retina could result.◀
Headlamp glass
Condensation can form on the inside of the
headlamps in cool or humid weather. When
you drive with the lights switched on, the con‐
densation evaporates after a short time. The
headlamps do not need to be changed.
If the condensation in the headlamps does not
evaporate after trips with the lights switched
on, and the amount of moisture in the head‐
lamps increases, for example if water droplets
form, have them checked by your service cen‐
ter.Seite 250MobilityReplacing components250

Headlight setting
Changing the bulbs and lights may influence
the headlight settings. Have the headlight set‐
ting checked by a service center and corrected
if necessary after changing bulbs or lights.
Removing the headlight cover
The high-beam bulbs can be replaced via the
engine compartment, and the low beam and
turn signal bulbs can be replaced via a folding
cover in the wheel arch.1High-beam cover2Low beam cover3Turn signal bulb socket
To remove the covers:
▷High-beams: fold out the bracket, arrow 4,
and take the cover out of the guide.▷Low beams: unscrew the cover, arrow 5.
Attach the covers carefully
When attaching the covers, proceed
carefully; otherwise, leaks may occur, causing
damage to the headlamp system.◀
Proceed in reverse order when attaching the
covers.

Because of the long life of these bulbs, the
likelihood of failure is very low. Switching the
lights on and off frequently shortens their life.
