Notes on replacing bulbs
G
WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and plug connectors can
become very hot during use. When replacing
a bulb, you could burn yourself on these com-
ponents. There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before
replacing the bulb.
Only operate bulbs in enclosed lamps
designed for that purpose. Only fit spare
bulbs of the same type and the specified volt-
age.
Protect bulbs from moisture during operation
and do not allow bulbs to come into contact
with fluids.
A bulb may explode if:
R
it is dropped
R
there are scratches on the glass tube
R

Do not touch the glass tube of new bulbs with
your bare hands. Even minor contamination
can burn into the glass surface and reduce
the service life of the bulbs. Always use a lint-
free cloth or only touch the base of the bulb
when fitting.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.
