CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.
For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this section;
❒before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒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 for safety reasons. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the bottle, proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 183 to release the replacement
part;
❒fit the new cylinder and press until it is automatically
engaged.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the light
emitted and even compromise the life of the bulb
itself. In the event of accidental contact, rub the
bulb with a cloth dampened with alcohol and let
it dry.

system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the filament A-fig. 209 must be
intact. If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another
with the same amperage (same colour).
