Practical advice

Front headlights (replacing bulbs)

~2min read
Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, always switch off the engine using the stop button (see the "Starting and stopping the engine" section in Chapter 2). Bulb envelopes are under pressure and may therefore explode during replacement.

Risk of injury

When working near the engine, remember that it may be hot. In addition, the radiator fan may switch on at any time.
