Before you start to replace a bulb for a
front lamp, do the following first:
̈ Turn the exterior lamp switch to
position M (

!
Do not replace the LEDs yourself. You could
otherwise damage the LEDs or parts of the vehi-
cle. Only have the LEDs replaced by an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning! G
Do not remove the cover 1 for the Bi-Xe-
non* headlamp. 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.
