CHANGING A BULB

The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a pro-
tective coating:


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


)

use a sponge and soapy water,

)
when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks,
do not keep the lance direct-
ed towards the lamps or their
edges for too long, so as not
to damage their protective
coating and seals.



)
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 head-
lamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with
a new bulb with the same type

replaced by a CITROËN dealer
