IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every time the load carried changes.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
The dipped-beam headlights are adjusted for circulation in the country in
which the vehicle is marketed. In countries with opposite circulation, to
avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is necessary to cover the areas of the
headlight as shown below: this is done using non-transparent sticker tape.
Figures refer to passing from right-hand drive to left-hand drive.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that it has not
fused before changing the bulb. For the location of
the fuses, refer to “If a fuse blows” in this chapter;❒Before replacing a bulb that does not work, check
that the contacts are not oxidised;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb.
Only touch the metal part when handling halogen bulbs. If the transparent bulb is touched it
reduces the intesity of the light emitted and can also reduce the life of the bulb. If you touch the
bulb accidentally, rub it with a cloth moistened with alcohol and leave it to dry.
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the electrical system carried out incorrectly and
without bearing the features of the system in mind can cause malfunctions with
the risk of fire.WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which, if broken, may cause small fragments
of glass to be projected outwards.
