All electric windows are protected together via an automatic fuse
which breaks the circuit when overloaded (e.g. windows frozen)
and completes the circuit again after a few seconds.

General notes
Before replacing a bulb you must first switch off the corresponding
consumer.Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with bare fingers since the
finger prints left on the glass or the sweat could evaporate when
the bulb becomes hot and cause a drastic decrease in life span
and/or properties. You can avoid this problem by wearing gloves
when changing a bulb.
A bulb must be replaced by a bulb with the same properties. The
designation is marked on the base of the bulb or on the glass.
We recommend you always carry a box of spare bulbs in the
vehicle. At the very least, carry the following bulbs since they are
essential for driving safety:

As a result of the special engine construction and the subsequent space
requirements and depending on the vehicle version, access to the bulbs
may be very difficult.
Changing bulbs should be carried out by a Technical Service Center.
Nonetheless, procedures on changing bulbs, except for xenon* bulbs, is
described as follows.
K
Main beam bulbs
1)Replacing this type of the light must be carried out by a Technical Service Centre since
complex vehicle parts must be disassembled and the incorporated automatic
regulatory system must be reset.
2)The glowing capacity of Xenon bulbs is 2.5 times higher than regular ones and their
life span is 5 times higher than halogen bulbs. It is not necessary to replace these
bulbs during the vehicle’s life, unless there is an anomaly.
