PRACTICAL INFORMATION

The headlamps are fi tted with polycar-
bonate glass with a protective coating:


)
do not clean them using a dry or
abrasive cloth, nor with a deter-
gent or solvent product,


)
use a sponge and soapy water,

)
when using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not direct
at the lamps or their outlines for too
long, so as not to damage their pro-
tective coating and seals.


Front lamps CHANGING A BULB

Changing the direction indicator
bulbs
Amber coloured bulbs, such as the
direction indicators, must be re-
placed with bulbs of identical spec-
ifi cation and colour.

)
Turn the bulb holder one quarter of
a turn and remove it.

)
Pull the bulb then change it.
To r efi t, carry out these operations in re-
verse order.
































1.

Direction indicators (PY21W amber).


2.
Sidelamps (W5W).


3.
Dipped beam headlamps (H7-55W).

4.
Main beam headlamps (H1-55W).


5.
Foglamps (H11-55W).





)
Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use lint-free
cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has been
switched off for a few minutes (risk
of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specifi cation. In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
