Safety notes

Safe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling to a large
degree.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for
headlamp adjustment.

that you have such work done by a qualified
technician.

Since replacing bulbs is a technically

highly demanding process, we recommend
to have them replaced at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.

If the headlamps or front fog lamps are

fogged up on the inside as a result of high
humidity, driving the vehicle a distance with
the lights on should clear up the fogging.
