Notes for dangerous high voltage / current
WARNING
♦ Mortal high voltage flows through the control units for
light system, plugs or parts of lamp base.
♦ The control unit for gas discharge lamp must never be
operated without gas discharge lamp.
♦ The battery earth strap must be disconnected before
working on the parts of the gas discharge headlight
marked with the yellow high voltage symbols (this does
not apply if the gas discharge lamp is removed from an
already disassembled headlight, e.g. on Octavia ll).
♦ Then switch the low beam light on and off again. Thus
remaining voltage is discharged.
Note

connecting the battery ⇒ Electrical System; Rep. gr. 27.
