2015 VOLKSWAGEN CC Owner´s Manual

WARNING
Improper replacement of burned out headlights and other light
bulbs can cause serious personal injury.
Stop! Always read and heed the WARNINGS before doing any
work in the engine compartment ⇒  Working in the engine com-
partment. The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a
potentially dangerous area, and work in this area can lead to
serious personal injury.
HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights get power
from a high voltage source that can cause severe personal inju-
ry and even death if handled improperly.
H7 bulbs and HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) head-
lights are under high pressure and can explode if handled im-
properly.
Always let a burned out light bulb cool down before replacing
it.
Never replace a light bulb unless you are familiar with all of
the necessary procedures. In particular, never remove a head-
light unless you know exactly how to carry out the job and have
the correct tools and light bulbs.
If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work per-
formed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified workshop.
Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed
work.
We strongly recommend that you always have HID – High In-
tensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights and H7 bulbs replaced by
a qualified technician.
Do not touch the glass of light bulbs with your bare hands.
Fingerprints left on the bulb evaporate due to the heat when the
bulb is switched on and cause the reflector to “cloud.”
There are sharp edges on and around the headlight housing
in the engine compartment and the rear light housing. Wear
hand protection if you replace bulbs.

NOTICE
After replacing a headlight bulb or other light bulb, always make
sure that the rubber covers or plastic caps have been properly
and securely reinstalled to help prevent water from getting into
the electrical connections and headlight housing and damaging
the electrical system.
