I have a feeling they have stayed away from it as I haven't seen anything in the manual regarding "bulb warnings". You do have to be very cautious with the interior bulbs and be sure not to short anything or you may damage part of the control system. I just made sure that the lights were off and got the correct 28mm bulbs to avoid having to force the connectors apart.

The technology advancements in cars in the last 10 years is frightening, not sure all of it is for the better.
Yes agreed, the hill assist still catches me out though not like it did the first week. I'm also slowly training myself to use the blind-spot radars and the reversing camera rather than simply ignoring them.
