PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CHANGING A BULB
Procedure for replacing a faulty bulb
with a new bulb .
In some climatic conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the
internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the
lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a pro-
tective coating:
 do not clean them using a
dry or abrasive cloth, nor
with a detergent or solvent
product,
 use a sponge and soapy water,
 when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks,
do not direct at the lamps or
11 11
their outlines for too long, so
as not to damage their coat-
ing and their seals.

 Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use lint-
free cloths.
Changing a halogen bulb should
only be done after the headlamp
has been switched off for a few
minutes (risk of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
