Lights and bulbs
General information
Lights and bulbs make an essential contribu‐
tion to vehicle safety.
All headlights and lights are made using LED
or laser technology.
Some items of equipment use light-emitting
diodes installed behind a cover as a light
source. These light-emitting diodes, which are
related to conventional lasers, are officially
designated as Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
that you let a dealer’s service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop perform
the work in case of a malfunction.
Safety information
WARNING
Focused laser light can irritate or perma‐
nently damage the retina of the eye. There is a
risk of injury. The manufacturer of your vehicle
recommends that the work on the lighting sys‐
tem including bulb replacement be performed
by a dealer’s service center or another quali‐
fied service center or repair shop.◀
WARNING
Too intensive brightness can irritate or
damage the retina of the eye. There is a risk of
injury. Do not look directly into the headlights
or other light sources. Do not remove the LED
covers.◀
Headlight glass
Condensation can form on the inside of the ex‐
ternal lights in cool or humid weather. When
driving with the lights switched on, the con‐
densation evaporates after a short time. The
headlight glass does not need to be changed.
If despite driving with the headlights switched
on, increasing humidity forms, for instance wa‐
ter droplets in the light, have the headlights
checked.
Vehicle battery
General information
The battery is maintenance-free.
The added amount of acid is sufficient for the
service life of the battery.
More information about the battery can be re‐
quested from a dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
that you have a dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop
register the vehicle battery to the vehicle after
the battery has been replaced. Once the bat‐
tery has been registered again, all comfort fea‐
tures will be available without restriction and
any Check Control messages displayed which
relate to comfort features will disappear.

Vehicle batteries that are not compatible
can damage vehicle systems and impair vehi‐

dealer’s service center.◀
