Danger of burns
Only change bulbs when they are cool;

otherwise, there is the danger of getting
burned.◀

Working on the lighting system
When working on the lighting system,

you should always switch off the lights af‐
fected to prevent short circuits.
To avoid possible injury or equipment damage
when replacing bulbs, observe any instructions
provided by the bulb manufacturer.◀

Do not perform work/bulb replacement
on xenon headlamps

Have any work on the xenon lighting system,
including bulb replacement, performed only by
a service center. Due to the high voltage
present in the system, there is the danger of
fatal injuries if work is carried out improperly.◀

Do not touch the bulbs
Do not touch the glass of new bulbs with

your bare hands, as even minute amounts of
contamination will burn into the bulb's surface
and reduce its service life.
Use a clean tissue, cloth or something similar,
or hold the bulb by its base.◀

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)

Some items of equipment use light-emitting
diodes installed behind a cover as a light
source.
These light-emitting diodes, which are related
to conventional lasers, are officially designated
as Class 1 light-emitting diodes.

Do not remove the covers
Do not remove the covers, and never

stare into the unfiltered light for several hours;
otherwise, irritation of the retina could result.◀

Headlamp glass

Condensation can form on the inside of the ex‐
ternal lamps in cool or humid weather. When
driving with the light switched on, the conden‐
sation evaporates after a short time. The head‐
lamp glasses do not need to be changed.
If the headlamps do not dim despite driving
with the light switched on, increasing humidity
forms, e. g. water droplets in the light, have the
service center check this.

Headlamp setting

The headlamp adjustments can be affected by
changing lamps and bulbs. Therefore after a
change, have the headlamp setting checked
and corrected by Service.
