Xenon lamps

The service life of these bulbs is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times. In the
unlikely event that one of these lamps
should fail, you can respond by switching
on your fog lamps and proceeding care-
fully, where allowed by law.

To avoid risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries: owing to the extremely high vol-

tages at which these units operate, service
work should always be entrusted to quali-
fied personnel.
