Some of the electrical items listed in
 the table are only fitted on certain 
models or are optional extras.
Please note that the above list, while correct at the time of printing, is subject 
to alterations.
Bulb changeGeneral notesBefore changing any bulb, first  turn off the equipment concerned.
Do not touch the bulb glass. Fingerprints vaporise in the heat, causing a 
reduction in the bulb life and condensation on the mirror surface, thus 
reducing efficiency.
A bulb should only be replaced by one  of the same type. The type is inscribed 
on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
It is highly recommended to keep a box of spare bulbs in the vehicle. At the 
very least, the bulbs that most affect road safety should have spares in the 
vehicle. Rear lights on frame
