11.1 Removing and installing additional

Note
♦
Failure of LEDs in additional brake lights:
♦
The individual LEDs in the additional brake lights are com‐
prised in groups of four LEDs and are supplied with current in
groups.
♦
The additional brake light is designed in such a way that the
legal requirements are still met in the event that one LED group
fails.
♦
If a further LED group fails, these requirements are no longer
met according to the legislator.
♦
Due to the failure of one LED group, the intact LEDs are placed
under increased strain; it must be anticipated that further LED
groups will soon fail.
♦
If more than four individual LEDs in the additional brake light
have failed, the additional brake light must be renewed (repair
measure).
Caution
♦ Switch off ignition and all electrical consumers.
♦ Remove the ignition key.
