Do not use a bulb that has been dropped or if

its glass tube has been scratched.
The bulb may explode if:

R

you touch it

R

it is hot

R

you drop it

R

you scratch it

Only operate bulbs in enclosed lamps

designed for that purpose. Only install spare

bulbs of the same type and the specified volt-

age.
Marks on the glass tube reduce the service

life of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube

with your bare hands. If necessary, clean the

glass tube when cold with alcohol or spirit and

rub it off with a lint-free cloth.
Protect bulbs from moisture during opera-

tion. Do not allow bulbs to come into contact

with liquids.
There are bulbs other than the Xenon bulbs

that you cannot replace. Replace only the

bulbs listed (

Y

page 117). Have the bulbs that

you cannot replace yourself changed at a

qualified specialist workshop.
If you require assistance changing bulbs, con-

sult a qualified specialist workshop.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult

a qualified specialist workshop.
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.
