nect
one end of the black jump lead X to a
s uit
able ground terminal, to a solid piece of
metal in the engine block, or to the engine

5. Connect the other end of the blac
k jump
lead X to a solid metal component bolted
t o the en
gine block or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the flat battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery A .
6. Position the leads in such a way that they cannot

come into contact with any moving

ers and refit them correctly to avoid problems
with your vehicle.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to avoid
the entry
of dust or humidity. Dirt and humid-
ity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to
the electrical system. Note
● In the v

ehicle, there are more fuses than
those indicated in this chapter. These should
only be changed by a specialised workshop.
● Positions not containing a fuse do not ap-
pear in the f
ollowing tables.
● Some of the equipment listed in the tables

Topic

introduction Read the additional information carefully
› ›

›  page 52.
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical skill. If you choose to change the engine compart-
ment l

amps yourself, remember that it is a
dangerous area ››› in Work in the engine
c omp

artment on page 283.
Always use identical bulbs with the same
designation. The name can be found on the
base of the bulb holder.
Depending on how equipped the vehicle is,
there are different sets of headlights and tail
lights:
● Halogen headlights
● Full-LED main headlights*
● Rear bulb light
● LED rear light*
Fu
ll-LED headlight system*
Full-LED headlights handle all light functions
(daylight, side light, turn signal, dipped
beam and route light) with light emitting di-
odes (LEDs) as a light source.
Full-LED headlights are designed to last the
lifetime of the car and light bulbs cannot be
replaced. In case of headlight failure, go to
an authorised workshop to have it replaced. WARNING
● Tak

e particular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm. Risk of burns. ●
Bu

lbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glass can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injur
e yourself on sharp edges, in particu-
lar on the headlight housing. CAUTION
● Remo

ve the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights and the parking light
befor
e changing a bulb.
● Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
po se of

used bulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Ple

ase 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 that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you
hav
e the correct new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your b
are hands, use a cloth or paper towel
instead, since the fingerprints left on the » 93
