Lights and bulbs
Xenon headlights*
The operating life of these light units is
extremely long and the likelihood of
failure very low, provided that they are
not switched on and off a very great
number of times. If a xenon headlight
should none the less fail, switch on the
fog lights and continue the journey with
great care, provided that local legisla-
tion does not prohibit this.
In view of the risk of potentially
fatal accidents resulting from the
high electrical voltages that are
present, work on the xenon lighting
system including bulb changing should
only be performed by specialist
personnel.
