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. If one of
these bulbs should nevertheless fail, it is
possible to continue driving with great cau-
tion using the fog lamps, provided traffic
laws in your area do not prohibit this.

Because of the extremely high volt-
ages involved, any work on the xenon

lighting system should be carried out by
technically qualified personnel only. Other-
wise, there is a risk of fatal injury.
