Bulb replacement
Before replacing a bulb , switch off ignition
and relevant switch.
Only hold new bulbs at base! Do not touch
the bulb glass with bare hands, otherwise
fingerprints on the glass evaporate and
residue builds up on the reflector
eventually resulting in a dull reflector.
Inadvertently stained bulbs may be
cleaned with a clean lint-free cloth, using
alcohol or white spirit.
Replacement bulb must be in accordance
with data on base of defective bulb. Do not
exceed wattage given on bulb base.
Headlamp aiming
We recommend that headlamp aiming be
carried out by a work shop, which will have
special equipment.
When aiming your headlamps, the manual
headlamp range adjustment 3 must be set
