Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and plug connectors can
become very hot during use. When replacing a bulb, you could burn yourself on these com-
ponents. There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before replacing the bulb.
Do not use a bulb if it has been dropped or if its
glass has been scratched.
The bulb may explode if:
R you touch it
R it is hot
R you drop it
R you scratch it
Use bulbs only in closed lamps that have been
designed for this purpose. Fit only spare bulbs of the same type and the specified voltage.
Marks on the glass reduce the service life of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube with your
bare hands. If necessary, clean the glass tube
when cold with alcohol or spirit and rub it off
with a lint-free cloth. 120

Windscreen wipers
Switching the windscreen wipers on/
off
! Do not operate the windscreen wipers when
the windscreen is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windscreen can scratch the
glass if wiping takes place when the wind-
screen is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windscreen wipers in dry weather conditions, always
operate them using washer fluid.
! If the windscreen wipers leave smears on
the windscreen after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may be
due to wax or other residue. Clean the wind-
screen with washer fluid after an automatic
car wash. Combination switch

! Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
screen becomes dirty in dry weather condi-
tions, the windscreen wipers may be activa-
ted inadvertently. This could damage the windscreen wiper blades or scratch the wind-
screen.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windscreen wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the ÄorÅ
position, the appropriate wiping frequency is
automatically set according to the intensity of
the rain. In the Åposition, the rain sensor is
more sensitive than in the Äposition, caus-
ing the windscreen wiper to wipe more fre-
quently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windscreen will
no longer be wiped properly. This could mean
you are unable to observe the traffic conditions. Switching the rear window wiper on/
