NOTE

WARNING


98 of 101 1/30/2019 10:39 AM




Severely discharged Batteries - A - freeze earlier.Batteries - A - that have frozen must no longer be used.

Batteries - A - that have not been used for a long time will discharge by themselves.

In severely discharged Batteries - A - , the electrolyte consists almost completely of water, because the acid portion has beengreatly reduced.

Severely discharged Batteries - A - become sulfated, meaning all of the plate surfaces of the Batteries - A - harden.

The sulfation process may be reversed if a severely discharged Battery - A - is recharged immediately.

If the Battery - A - is not recharged, the plates will continue to harden, and the ability to accept a charge will decrease. Thisresults in reduction of battery performance.

Severely discharged Batteries - A - in vehicles must be replaced prior to delivery. Pre-existing damage cannot be ruled out.

When Performing Assembly Work on HID Headlamps, Note the FollowingInformation on Dangerous High Voltage/Currents. Refer to ⇒ Anchor .

Notes on pressure, temperature and radiation/electric arcs. Refer to ⇒ Anchor .

Assembly instructions on HID headlamp bulbs. Refer to ⇒ Anchor .

Disposal Regulations for HID Headlamp Bulbs. Refer to ⇒ Anchor .

Always disconnect the Battery - A - before working on any HID headlamp components marked with the yellow high-voltagesymbols. Refer to ⇒ Electrical Equipment; Rep. Gr.27 [Battery; Battery, Removing and Installing] .

Then switch the low beams on and back off. This removes any possible residual voltage.

The HID headlamp control module must never be operated without an HID headlamp bulb.

Due to the high-voltage (over 28000 V when igniting the lamp) and temperatures, the HID headlamp bulb should only beoperated inside the headlamp housing.

WARNING


1 of 4 1/30/2019 10:46 AM

Never change an HID headlamp bulb if not familiar with the corresponding steps, safety precautions and the tool.

Warnings for Dangerous High-Voltage and Currents

Light system control modules, connectors or components in the bulb socket area produce life-threatening high-voltage.

The control module and igniter may be used only on the HID headlamp bulb.


When working on headlamp system, ensure all components are without voltage, including relieving residual voltage afterswitching headlamps off.

Residual voltages are discharged by switching low beams on and off again after ignition key was removed.

Make sure lamps cannot be switched on when working on headlamp system.

Notes on Pressure, Temperature and Radiation/Glare

WARNING

WARNING

WARNING


2 of 4 1/30/2019 10:46 AM

HID Headlamp Bulb must only be operated in headlamp housing (it offers protection against touching extremely hot lamp,absorption of UV radiation, prevention of glare, protection against explosion).

The glass HID headlamp bulb glass can become very hot - risk of burning!

Avoid looking directly into light beam, since UV radiation from the HID lamp is approximately 2.5 times higher than that ofstandard halogen lamps.

Avoid looking into the light beam (danger of glare); vision can be impaired for a longer period of time.

Avoid contact with burst bulb glass.

H7 bulbs and HID bulbs are under pressure and can burst when replaced, which increases the risk of injury.

Always wear protective eyewear and gloves when removing and installing HID headlamp bulbs.

Assembly Instructions on HID Headlamp Bulbs

WARNING

WARNING
