Fuses and bulbs 272Fuses and bulbsFusesChanging a fuse
If a fuse has blown it must be replaced.– Identify the fuse for the failed component.
– Switch off the ignition and the component concerned.
– Remove the fuse box cover ⇒fig. 253.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover, fit it onto
the blown fuse, and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal
strip) with a new fuse of the same amp rating.The various electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuse boxes
are located behind covers on the left and right sides of the dash
panel and in the compartment on the right side of the boot.
A plastic clip for removing the fuses is provided in the fuse cover on
the left side of the dash panel. There is also a sticker listing the fuses
in each of the fuse boxes in the dash panel.
Caution
Never attempt to “repair” a fuse or replace it by fitting a fuse with a
higher rating - risk of fire! It could also cause damage to other parts
of the electrical system.
Note
If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical
system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.Fuses on the driver's sideSome of the items listed are only fitted on certain models or are
optional extras.
Please note that the following list, while correct at the time of
printing, is subject to alterations. If discrepancies should occur,
please refer to the sticker on the inside of the fuse cover for the
correct information for your vehicle.

Fuses and bulbs 276BulbsChanging bulbs
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of practical
skill.You can change the following bulbs for exterior lights yourself:•
Halogen headlights: Bulb for dipped headlights
•
Halogen headlights: Bulb for main beam headlights
•
Halogen headlights: Bulb for side lights
•
Xenon headlights*: Bulb for turn signals
•
Bulb for fog light
•
Bulbs for rear lights in boot lid
•
Bulbs for rear lights in side panel
•
Bulbs for number plate light
The following bulbs should only be changed by a qualified work-
shop:
•
Halogen headlights: Bulb for turn signals
•
Xenon headlights*: Light source for daytime running
lights/parking lights
•
Bulb for headlights: Bi-xenon lights ⇒
•
Light source for turn signal in exterior mirror housing
•
Light source for high-level brake light
As a rule, you require a certain degree of practical skill to change
defective bulbs. This applies in particular to those bulbs which are
only accessible from the engine compartment.
If in doubt, we recommend that you have defective bulbs changed
by a qualified workshop or qualified mechanic.
If you do decide to change bulbs in the engine compartment your-
self, be aware of the safety risks involved ⇒page 231 ⇒.
Types of bulbs
You must only replace a bulb with a bulb of the same type. Informa-
tion regarding e.g. the wattage can be found on the base of the
bulb.

WARNING
•
Take particular care when working on components in the
engine compartment if the engine is warm - risk of burns!
•
Bulbs are sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.
•
Incorrect handling of the high-voltage element of xenon gas-
discharge bulbs* can have potentially fatal consequences.
•
When changing bulbs, please take care not to injure yourself on
sharp edges, in particular on the headlight housing.Caution
•
Always remove the ignition key before carrying out any work on
the electrical system - danger of short circuiting!
•
Switch off the lights or parking lights before you change a bulb.
•
Take good care to avoid damaging any components.
•
Removing the lights in particular can lead to the paintwork
becoming damaged. This is another reason why we recommend
having the bulbs changed by a qualified workshop.For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dispose of used bulbs in
the proper manner.
Note
Place the parts you have removed on a soft cloth so that they do not
become scratched.
•
Please check at regular intervals that all lighting (especially the
exterior lighting) on your vehicle is functioning properly. This is not
only in the interest of your own safety, but also in that of all other
road users.
•
Before changing a bulb, make sure you have the correct new
bulb.
•
Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands, use
a cloth or paper towel instead. Otherwise, the fingerprints left on
the glass will vaporise as a result of the heat generated by the bulb,
be deposited on the reflector and impair its surface.
Bulbs with a bayonet fastenerBulbs with a bayonet fastener must be changed as follows:
Removing the bulb
– Lightly press the defective bulb into the bulb holder, then
turn it anti-clockwise and remove it.
– Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your
bare hands, use a cloth or paper towel instead.
Fitting the bulb
– Fit the new bulb, pressing it into the bulb holder, and turn
it clockwise as far as it will go.
– If necessary, use a cloth to remove any fingerprints from
the glass part of the bulb.

– Take the screwdriver and the interchangeable Torx socket
out of the vehicle tool kit.
– Remove the screws ⇒page 278, fig. 258 that secure the
trim panel to the lock carrier and detach the trim panel.
– Slacken the two screws that secure the headlight to the
lock carrier and the screw at the underside of the head-
light (this screw is located between the cover and the
rubber cap and should not be slackened more than ten
turns) ⇒page 278, fig. 259.
– Carefully pull the headlight forward about 60 mm.
– Release and unplug the electrical connector.
– Carefully take the headlight out towards the front (swivel
it slightly if necessary).
Installing
– Perform all of the above steps in reverse sequence.The headlight must be inserted in two guides (on the underside of
the headlight). This is the only way to ensure that the headlight is
installed in the correct position. To determine whether the headlight
is correctly installed, check that it is aligned flush with adjacent
body parts (such as the wing panel).
Do not interchange the securing screws.
Caution
Please take particular care not to damage or scratch the adjacent
parts of the body when removing or installing the headlights.
Applies to vehicles: with halogen main beam headlightsRemoving bulb for main beam headlights– Remove the headlight ⇒page 278.
– Take off the rubber cap ⇒fig. 260 ⇒ in “Changing
bulbs” on page 276.
– Press the connector in the direction of the arrow

When installing a bulb, the lug on the base of the bulb
must be inserted into the appropriate mounting on the
bulb housing.– Attach the new bulb to the connector ⇒ in “Changing
bulbs” on page 276.
– Insert the bulb carefully into the bulb housing. Start by
placing the base of the bulb directly behind one of the
