Lights and bulbs
General information
Lights and bulbs make an essential contribution 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 are related to conventional lasers and 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 permanently damage the retina of the eye. There is a risk of injury. The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends that the work on the lighting system including bulb replacement be performed by a dealer's service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Warning
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 headlight glass in cool or humid weather. When driving with the lights switched on, the condensation 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 water droplets in the light, have the headlights checked.
