Do not use fuel, nail v arnish remover, paint
thinner or similar products to clean the
windows. Wax deposits on the windscreen and
rear window could cause the wiper
blades to rub. Remo

ve wax residue using
a special cleaning product or cleaning cloths. Exterior lighting
Introduction to the topic
Bef

ore changing a bulb, check whether a bulb
or LED light unit has failed. You can normally
change bulbs yourself. If the exterior lighting
is realised using LED technology, depending
on model and vehicle equipment, it is not
possible for you to change the LED light units
or individual LEDs yourself. If individual LEDs
fail, this may be an indication that more LEDs
are on the point of failure. In this case, have
the LED light units checked and renewed if
necessary at a qualified workshop.
It may be illegal to drive with faulty exterior
lights.
Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs might have factory specifications
that differ from standard bulbs. The designa-
tion is inscribed on the bulb, either on the
glass part or on the base. NOTICE
Damage to the electrical system can be
caused by water entering the system if the
rubber co

ver or plastic covers on the head-
light housing are not properly mounted after
a bulb has been changed. Checklist “Information on
changing bulbs”
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 295.

Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or
body parts
Auxiliary equipment and second stage manu-
facturers must ensure that the equipment
and bodies (conversions) adhere to the stipu-
lated environmental laws and regulations,
particularly the EU directive 2000/53/EC con-
cerning end-of-life vehicles and EU directive
2003/11/EC concerning the restriction on the
marketing and use of certain dangerous sub-
stances and preparations.
The vehicle owner must keep all assembly
documentation for these conversions and
pass it on to the scrapping company upon ve-
hicle handover if the vehicle is scrapped. This
is intended to facilitate environmentally re-
sponsible disposal for all vehicles, including
refitted vehicles.
Windscreen repairs
To function properly, some items of equip-
ment require an electrical or electronic mod-
ule, which is located on the inside of the
windscreen near the interior mirror. If the
windscreen has been damaged in the viewing
field of the electrical or electronic module,
e.g. by stone impact, the windscreen must be
replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to mal-
function or functional faults in the equip-
ment. After changing the windscreen, the camera
and sensors must be adjusted and calibrated
by a qualified workshop.
Impairment or damage to sensors and cam-
eras
Incorrectly perf
ormed repairs, structural
changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the sus-
pension, retrofitted add-on parts or changes
to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras
being displaced or damaged. This can also be
caused by collisions when parking, or also
even by minor damage such as stone impacts
on the windscreen.
The area in front of and around the sensors
and cameras must not be covered by stickers,
additional headlights, trim frames for number
plates or similar. Observe the position of sen-
sors and cameras on the vehicle
