WARNINGAlways read and observe the warning notes before completing any work in
the engine compartment » page 128, Engine compartment .
CAUTION
■
Replace the faulty fuse with a new one of the same amperage.■If a newly inserted fuse again blows after a short time, then seek assistance
from a specialist garage.■
“Do not repair” the fuses and do not replace them with stronger fuses - dan-
ger of fire and damage to another electrical system.
Note
■ We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle.■There can be several power-consuming devices for one fuse. Multiple fuses
may exist for a single power-consuming device.Fuses in the dashboardFig. 185

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

parking light

We recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other
expert help in the event of any uncertainties.
▶ Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
▶ Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
In the case of failure of a Xenon gas discharge bulb or an LED diode, visit a
specialist garage.
WARNING■ Always read and observe the warning notes before completing any work
in the engine compartment » page 128.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users. 
156Do-it-yourself

WARNING (Continued)■H7 and H15 bulbs are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.■
Do not carry out any work on the Xenon gas discharge lamps - risk of
death!
CAUTION
■ Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.■
The cap of the filament bulb must always be seated correctly in the head-
light, otherwise this may allow water and debris to enter the headlight - risk of
damage to the headlights.
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
hicle.
