Lamp replacement - headlamps
All of the headlamp bulbs are replaced via the
engine compartment. First loosen and remove
the whole headlamp.
Removing the headlamp
Set the car's electrical system in key position
0, see Key positions - functions at different
levels (p. 82).
Pull out the headlamp's locking pins.
Release the headlamp by alternately tilt-
ing and pulling it out.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull the electrical cable, only the
connector.
Detach the headlamp connector by
pressing down the clip with your thumb.
At the same time, guide out the connec-
tor with your other hand.
5. Lift out the headlamp and place it on a
soft surface to avoid scratching the lens.
6. Replace the bulb in question.
Securing the headlamp
1. Plug in the connector, a clicking sound
should be heard.
2. Reinstall the headlamp and locking pins.
The short pin is fitted closest to the radia-
tor grille. Check that they are firmly
inserted.
3. Check the lighting.
The headlamp must be mounted and the con-
nector firmly connected before the lighting is
switched on or the remote control key is
inserted into the ignition switch.
