WARNING

Headlights

■

Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the

engine compartment » page 138.

■

Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-

ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-

ty by other road users.

■

Bulbs H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there is a

risk of injury. We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety

glasses when changing a bulb.

■

Switch off the respective vehicle light when changing the bulb.

CAUTION

Fig. 154 Bulb arrangement: Halogen headlights/halogen projector head-

amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,

napkin, or similar.

 Read and observe and on page 171 first.

When removing and installing the number plate light and tail light make sure

that the paintwork of the vehicle and the tail light are not damaged.
