specialist workshop.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times. Have

Other bulbs
There are bulbs other than the Xenon bulbs that you cannot replace yourself. Only replace the

fied specialist workshop.
If you require assistance replacing bulbs, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop. Do not touch the glass tube of new bulbs with
your bare hands. Even minor contamination can
burn into the glass surface and reduce the ser-
vice life of the bulbs. Always use a lint-free cloth
or only touch the base of the bulb when instal-
ling.
Only use bulbs of the correct type.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.

Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield/rear window can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when
the windshield/rear window is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield/rear window after the vehicle has
been washed in an automatic car wash, this
may be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windshield/rear window with washer fluid
after an automatic car wash.
!Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due to
optical influences and the windshield becom-
ing dirty in dry weather conditions, the wind-
shield wipers may be activated inadvertently.
This could then damage the windshield wiper
blades or scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windshield wipers in dry weather.
