WARNING
Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause
serious accidents.
● Before carrying out any work in the engine
compartment please read and observe the
warnings ››› page 214. In any vehicle, the en-
gine c omp
artment is a hazardous area and
could cause severe injury.
● Discharge lamps work with high-voltage
and can cause serious or fatal injury if han-
dled incorrectly.
● H7 and discharge lamps are highly pressur-
ised and could explode when being changed.
● Only replace the bulbs concerned when
they have cooled.
● Never replace bulbs alone if you are not fa-
miliar with the operations necessary. If you
are not sure about procedures then visit a
specialised workshop to carry out the neces-
sary work.
● Never touch the bulb glass directly. Finger-
prints will be evaporated by the heat of the
operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflec-
tor.
● The headlamp frameworks in the engine
compartment and the tail lamps contain sharp elements. Always protect your hands
when changing bulbs.
CAUTION
● After changing a bulb, if the rubber covers
are not replaced correctly on the headlamp
framework, the electrical installation may be
damaged, especially if water is allowed to en-
ter.
● Remove the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights and the parking light
before changing a bulb.
● Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents. Control lamp

Checking the bulbs of a trailer
For vehicles with the factory fitted towing
bracket, certain trailer lights are also control-
led if the power socket is correctly connected.
A fault on a trailer turn signal is indicated on
the instrument panel by the turn signal blink-
ing twice as fast (
 or ) ››› page 74.
● General fault of all turn signals on one side.
● Fault in one tail light (on some models, al-
so the registration light).
● Fault in two brake lights. WARNING
Observe the safety warnings ››› in Control
and warning lamps on page 47. Note
A fault in the LED on the tail lights will not be
indicated. However, if the fault affects all the
LEDs then this will be indicated by the control
lamp . 267
