Important safety notes

Xenon bulbs

G

DANGER

Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You can get

an electric shock if you remove the cover of

the Xenon bulb and touch the electrical con-

tacts. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Never touch the parts or the electrical con-

tacts of the Xenon bulb. Always have work on

the Xenon bulbs carried out at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop.

If your vehicle is equipped with Xenon bulbs,

you can recognize this by the following: the

cone of light from the Xenon bulbs moves

from the top to the bottom and back again

when you start the engine. For this to be

observed, the lights must be switched on

before starting the engine.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of

vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure

that these function correctly at all times.

Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.
Other bulbs

WARNING

Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very hot

when operating. If you change a bulb, you

could burn yourself on these components.

There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before

changing a bulb.
