WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ When a light is not working, check

that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the loca-
tion of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If
a fuse blows” in this section;

❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-

tacts for oxidation;

❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-

ers of the same type and power;

❒ Always check the height of the head-

light beam after changing a bulb.

Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its

lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.

Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-

tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,

may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
