Practical hints

Replacing bulbs

Notes on bulb replacement

ț

Only use 12-volt bulbs of the same type
and with the specified watt rating.

ț

Switch lights off before changing a bulb
to prevent short circuits.

ț

Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.

ț

Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.

ț

If the newly installed bulb does not
come on, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.

Have the LEDs and bulbs for the following
lamps replaced at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center:

ț

the additional turn signal lamps in the
exterior rear view mirrors

ț

the high mounted brake lamp

ț

the Bi-Xenon lamps

ț

the locator lighting lamps in the
exterior rear view mirrors

Warning!

G

Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot.
Allow the lamp to cool down before
changing a bulb.

Keep bulbs out of reach of children.

Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas.
A bulb can explode if you:

ț

touch or move it when hot

ț

drop the bulb

ț

scratch the bulb

Wear eye and hand protection.

Because of high voltage in Xenon lamps, it is
dangerous to replace the bulb or repair the
lamp and its components. We recommend
that you have such work done by a qualified
technician.

!

Do not replace the LEDs yourself. You could

otherwise damage the LEDs or parts of the vehi-
cle. Only have the LEDs replaced at an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
