Bulbs
Safe vehicle operation depends on proper 
exterior lighting and signaling. It is there-
fore essential that all bulbs and lamp as-
semblies are in good working order at all 
times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely 
important. Have headlamps checked and 
readjusted at regular intervals and when a 
bulb has been replaced. See your autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center for headlamp 
adjustment

If the headlamps are fogged up on the 
inside as a result of high humidity, driv-
ing the vehicle a distance should clear 
up the fogging.
