Changing a bulb

The bulbs must be changed with

the ignition off or with the battery

disconnected. Wait approximately

3 minutes after changing the bulb

before reconnecting the battery.

Check that the lights operate correctly

after each operation.

High pressure washing

When using this type of washing

on stubborn dirt, do not persist

on the headlamps, the lights and

their surround to avoid damaging their

coating and their seal.

Types of bulb

Entirely glass bulb: pull

gently as it is ﬁtted by

pressure.

with the headlamp off. Wait a few

minutes (risk of serious burns).

Do not touch the bulb directly with your

ﬁngers, use lint-free cloths.

It is normal for condensation to form
