discharging, the interior lighting functions are

except for when the key is in position 2 in the
ignition lock.
The colour and brightness of the ambient light-
ing are set using the multimedia system (see

Replacing bulbs
Important safety notes
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.
Do not use a bulb if it has been dropped or if its
glass tube has been scratched.
The bulb may explode if:
R
you touch it
R
it is hot
R
you drop it
R
you scratch it
Use bulbs only in closed lamps that have been
designed for this purpose. Fit only spare bulbs of
the same type and the specified voltage.
Marks on the glass tube reduce the service life
of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube with
your bare hands. If necessary, clean the glass
tube when cold with alcohol or spirit and rub it
off with a lint-free cloth.
Protect bulbs from moisture during operation.
Do not allow bulbs to come into contact with
liquids.
Replace only the bulbs listed (
Y
page 120).
Have the bulbs that you cannot change yourself
replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.
If you require assistance replacing bulbs, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
Headlamps and lights 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.
Vehicles with LED headlamps: the front and
rear lamp clusters of your vehicle are equipped
with LED bulbs. Do not replace the bulbs your-
self. Contact a qualified specialist workshop
with the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
