Before changing any bulb, first turn off the
failed device. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare h
ands. The fingerprints left on the
glass will vaporise as a result of the heat gen-
erated by the bulb, reducing bulb life and
causing condensation on the reflector sur-
face, thus reducing effectiveness.
A bulb must only be replaced by one of the
same type. The type is indicated on the bulb,
either on the glass part or on the base.
Xenon headlights
With this type of headlight, the user can re-
place the turn signal bulb. Replacement of
the dipped/main beam bulb must be done by
Technical Services, given that complex ele-
ments must be removed from the vehicle and
the automatic control system that incorpo-
rates it must be reset.
The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the
light flux and have an average lifespan of 5
times more than that of halogen bulbs, this
means that, except due to unusual circum-
stances, there is no need to change the bulbs
for the whole life of the vehicle. WARNING
● Take p ar
ticular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm, there is a risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glass
can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury. » 83

●
The high vo lt
age element of gas discharge
bulbs* (xenon light) must be handled correct-
ly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure y
ourself on sharp parts in the head-
light housing. CAUTION
● Remov e the ignition k
ey before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights be-
fore y
ou change a bulb. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
pose of u sed b
ulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Depending on w e
ather conditions (cold or
wet), the front lights, the fog lights, the tail
lights and the turn signals may be temporari-
ly misted. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam
of light is projected will quickly be demisted.
However, the edges may continue to be mis-
ted.
● Please check at regular intervals that all
lighting (espec
ially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is not only in the interest of your own safety,
but a
l
so that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you
have the corr
ect new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare h
ands, use a cloth or paper towel
instead. The residue left by the fingerprints
would vaporise as a result of the heat gener-
ated by the bulb, they will be deposited on
the reflector and will impair its surface. Single headlight bulb change
