A fault on a trailer turn signal is indicated on the instrument panel by the
turn signal blinking twice as fast ( or ) ⇒ page 96.
● General fault of all turn signals on one side.
● Fault in one tail light (on some models, also the registration light).

If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, the vehicle may stall in
traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text messages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and text messages when they appear may
result in faults in the vehicle.

Information for replacing bulbs
Checklist
To replace a bulb, carry out the following operations always in the order giv-
en ⇒
:
Park the vehicle a safe distance from traffic and on suitable ground.
Connect the electronic parking brake ⇒ page 185.
Turn the light switch to position 0 ⇒ page 96.
Move the gear lever into the neutral position ⇒ page 96.
Automatic gearbox: move the selector lever to position P ⇒ page 176.
Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition ⇒ page 172.
Manual gearbox: Select a gear ⇒ page 176.
Wait until all of the vehicle interior lights are turned off ⇒ page 96.
Allow the corresponding bulb to cool.
Visually inspect fuses to see if any are blown ⇒ page 326.
Replace the bulb according to the instructions ⇒
. Bulbs should only
be replaced by new identical models. Bulb information is displayed on
the bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
In general, never touch the bulb glass directly. The heat of the bulb
would cause the fingerprint to evaporate and condense on the reflector.
This will impair the brightness of the headlight.
Check if the new bulb is working. If the bulb is not working, it may not
have been correctly fitted, it could be damaged or the connector may
not be correctly connected.
Every time a bulb for the headlights is replaced, visit a specialised
workshop to check the headlights.
