In the event of a breakdown  
Changing a bulb  
Front lamps  
In some weather 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 have polycarbonate  
lenses with a protective coating:  
F
do not clean them using a dry  
or abrasive cloth, nor with a  
detergent or solvent product,  
use a sponge and soapy water or a  
pH neutral product,  
F
F
when using a high pressure washer  
on persistent marks, do not keep  
the lance directed towards the  
lamps or their edges for too long,  
so as not to damage their protective  
coating and seals.  
Changing a bulb should only be done  
after the headlamp has been switched  
off for several minutes (risk of serious  
burns).
