Do not remove the covers
With LED headlights, all front lights and side
indicators are designed with LED technology.
Do not remove the covers, and never
stare into the unfiltered light for several hours;
otherwise, irritation of the retina could result.◀
If an LED fails, switch on the front fog lights
and continue the trip with great care. Comply
with local regulations.
Headlight glass
Contact your service center in the event of a

light glass does not need to be changed.
