Checking and topping up fluids
A WARNING
- To avoid the risk of being scalded, never
open the bonnet if
you
see steam or coolant
escaping from the engine compartment.
Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen
before opening the bonnet.
- For safety reasons the bonnet must always
be completely closed when the vehicle is

moving.
After closing it always check that it
is properly secured. It should not be possi­
ble to
lift
the front edges of the bonnet.
Should you notice that the bonnet is not
safely secured when the vehicle is moving,
stop the vehicle immediately and close the
bonnet properly, otherwise it could cause an
accident.

A WARNING
Never attempt to repair a fuse or replace a
blown fuse by fitting a fuse with a higher am­
pere rating. This could damage the electrical
system - risk of fire!
© CAUTION
If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a
short time, the electrical system must be
checked by a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.

Bulbs
General notes
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical
skill.

LED*
lights are maintenance-free and cannot be

changed.
For repairs, please contact a qualified
workshop.
If
you
decide to change bulbs in the engine com­
partment yourself, be aware of the safety risks
involved
*
A in Working on components in the
engine compartment on page 295.
WARNING
- Take particular care when working on com­
ponents in the engine compartment if the
engine is warm - risk of burns!
- Bulbs are sensitive to pressure. The glass
can break when you touch the bulb, causing
injury.
- When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure yourself on sharp edges, in particu­
lar on the headlight housing.
© CAUTION
-Always switch off the ignition before carry­
ing out any work on the electrical system -
danger of short circuiting!
- Switch off the Lights or parking lights before
you change a bulb.
- Take good care to avoid damaging any com­
ponents.

- Make sure that the covers are correctly seat­
ed on the headlights and the rear lights.
This will ensure that water cannot enter the
housings and cause the lights to malfunc­

tion.

- Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare hands; use a cloth or paper towel

instead.
Otherwise, the fingerprints left on
the glass will vaporise as a result of the heat
generated by the bulb, be deposited on the
reflector and impair its surface.
© CAUTION
When removing or installing the rear light,
take care not to cause any damage.
- Removing the rear light in particular can
lead to the paintwork or rear light becoming

damaged.
This is another reason why we
recommend having the bulbs changed by a
qualified workshop.
- Never use metal tools (e.g. a screwdriver) or
sharp or pointed plastic tools to lever out
the rear light - risk of damaging the paint.
- Make sure you have a soft cloth ready to
place under the glass on the rear light, to
avoid any scratches.
® For the sake of the environment
A qualified workshop can advise you how to
dispose of used bulbs in the proper manner.
© Note
- Please check at regular intervals that
alL

lighting (especially the exterior Lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also in that of all other road users.
- Before changing a bulb, make sure you have
the correct new bulb.
