REPLACING A BULB
34) 19)
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒ Before changing 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
aiming after changing a bulb;
❒ whenever a lamp does not work,
please check that the
corresponding fuse is in tact before
replacing it: please refer to the
paragraph “Replacing fuses” in this
chapter for the location of fuses.
IMPORTANT Whenever the weather is
hot or cold, of after heavy rain, the
surface of the headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form droplets 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.
