temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:

or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,

on persistent marks, do not keep
the lance directed towards the
