Headlamps with High Intensity Gas Discharge (HID) Lamps General information

Warning!

HIGH VOLTAGE!

The physical and mechanical properties of HID bulbs are very sensitive. Internal pressure of HID glass bulb may exceed 100 bar (in operation). Bulb temperature may exceed 700 degrees Celsius.

Danger of explosion and burning.

The control modules for HID lamps must never be operated (headlamps turned on) without an HID lamp.

HID bulbs must only be operated (headlamps turned on) when installed in the headlamp housing.

Always wear safety glasses and gloves when removing and installing HID bulb.

Never look directly at an operating HID bulb. The UV emissions of an HID bulb are approximately 2.5 times that of a comparable halogen bulb. .

In the following cases, no DTC are stored in Headlamp Range Control Module J431 memory:

when vehicle level sensors are not installed as specified in the Repair Manual

when vehicle level sensors are damaged mechanically

when vehicles have a modified axle geometry (e.g. lowered vehicle)

Note:

If values of vehicle level sensors are outside the tolerance range, headlamp basic setting cannot be performed.
