Fuses and bulbs
CAUTION
● Remo v
e the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights be-
fore
you change a bulb. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
pose of u

sed bulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Dependin g on w

eather 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 (es
pecially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you
have the c
orrect new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bar
e hands, 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 refl
ect

or and will impair its surface.
● Depending on the level of equipment fitted
in the vehic
le, LEDs may be used for part or
all of the interior and/or exterior lighting.
LEDs have an estimated life that exceeds that
of the vehicle. If an LED light fails, go to an
authorised workshop for its replacement. Change the front bulbs

rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle. ●
Clo s

ing the rear lid without observing and
ensuring it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, e
xhaust gases may enter into the in-
terior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
