Car care

Headlight washers are only available in cer-
tain markets/variants.

Fill with a mixture of washer fluid and water
as recommended by the table on the pack-
aging to reduce the risk of freezing and to
ensure effective cleaning, see also
page 83.

Washer jets

The washer jets, which are adjustable, can
be cleaned with a pin if necessary.

Changing bulbs

WARNING

Take care not to spill washer fluid concen-
trate onto hot surfaces. Washer fluid con-
centrate contains flammable ingredients
such as alcohol.

WARNING

Switch off the engine before changing a
bulb in the engine bay. This averts the
danger of fingers and hands being injured
by moving parts.

The radiator fan can cut in even when the
engine is switched off.

NOTICE

Switch off the ignition before changing a
bulb, to avoid possible short circuiting.
