As usual, before any maintenance operation on any car, position the vehicle on a flat surface or a ramp to carry out the work safely and stably. To replace the rear headlamp bulb, open the boot.

Now, remove the boot panel by unscrewing the screw located inside the handle and pulling along the perimeter of the panel to release the clips holding it in place. This gives access to the reverse light bulbs.

After disconnecting the electrical supply, turn counter-clockwise to extract the bulb holder, then turn it clockwise to remove the bulb and replace it with a new one. Refit everything. At this point, unscrew the 2 bolts (located on the boot lid) that secure the indicator block and remove it from its housing.

Disconnect the electrical supply and remove the bulb cover. Now you can turn the bulb and pull it out of its housing.

Install the new bulb and replace every element in its place. That's it!

How to Extract the Spare Wheel from a Mercedes Vito

The spare wheel of a Mercedes Vito is located underneath the vehicle, just below the rear boot. This video demonstrates how to extract the wheel from its compartment. First, open the boot and locate the tools provided with the vehicle to release the wheel; these can be found in a compartment on the right side of the boot. As shown in the video, use the supplied screwdriver to remove the cover cap from the hole where you will insert the socket spanner; this hole is located beneath the rubber seal above the rear bumper. Insert the spanner and attach the extension to allow you to turn it and lower the wheel from under the floor. Finally, detach the pin that allowed the wheel to lower and proceed to extract it from under the vehicle.
