REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒always check the headlight beam
alignment after replacing a bulb;
❒when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph "Replacing fuses" in this
chapter.
114) 115)
25) 26)
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of a
failure or improper action on the
system.
When a device does not work, check
the condition of its protective fuse:
the filament A fig. 121 must be intact. If
it is not, replace the blown fuse with
another having the same amperage
(same colour).
