Replacing bulbs

The front and rear light clusters of your vehi-

cle are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not

replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified

specialist workshop which has the necessary

specialist knowledge and tools to carry out

the work required.
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.

Windshield wipers

Switching the windshield wipers

on/off

!

Do not operate the windshield wipers

when the windshield is dry, as this could

damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust

that has collected on the windshield can

scratch the glass if wiping takes place when

the windshield is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield

wipers in dry weather conditions, always

use washer fluid when operating the wind-

shield wipers.

!

If the windshield wipers leave smears on

the windshield after the vehicle has been

washed in an automatic car wash, wax or

other residues may be the reason for this.

Clean the windshield using washer fluid

after washing the vehicle in an automatic

car wash.

!

Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due

to optical influences and the windshield

becoming dirty in dry weather conditions,

the windshield wipers may be activated

inadvertently. This could then damage the

windshield wiper blades or scratch the

windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch

off the windshield wipers in dry weather.
