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. 83).
Pull out the headlamp's locking pins.
Release the headlamp by alternately tilting
and pulling it out.

nector.
Detach the headlamp connector by pressing
down the clip with your thumb.
At the same time, guide out the connector
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

should be heard.
2. Reinstall the headlamp and locking pins. The
short pin is fitted closest to the radiator grille.

The connector must be plugged in properly and
the headlamp mounted before the lighting is
switched on or the remote control key is inserted
in the ignition switch.
