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.
To avoid risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries: owing to the extremely high volt-
ages at which these units operate, service
work should always be entrusted to quali-
fied personnel.
