Replacing bulbs for front lamps
Before you start to replace a bulb for a
front lamp, do the following first:
̈ Turn the exterior lamp switch to M
(
୴ page 342).
̈ Open the hood (୴ page 492) (except
for side marker lamps).
Warning! G
Keep bulbs out of reach of children.
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot. Al-
low the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A
bulb can explode if you:
ț touch or move it when hot
ț drop the bulb
ț scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
Because of high voltage in Xenon lamps, it is
dangerous to replace the bulb or repair the
lamp and its components. We recommend
that you have such work done by a qualified
technician.

Have the headlamp adjustment checked
regularly.
