Warning!

The Hazard Warning Lights should

always be used when you stop on or

near a roadway in an emergency.

Note:

Before proceeding with the replacement

of the lamp wait until the exhaust pipes are

The Hazard Warning Light switch is

located on the center instrument panel

below the radio. Push the switch to turn

the Hazard Warning Lights on or off.

The turn signals do not work while

the Hazard Warning Lights are

activated.

Modifications or repair of the electrical

system performed incorrectly and without

taking into account the technical

characteristics can cause malfunctions

with the risk of fire.

Note: The Hazard Warning Lights warn

other drivers that your vehicle is a traffic

hazard and that they must take extreme

caution when near it.

Check local regulations about the

use of Hazard Warning Lights while the

vehicle is being towed to verify that it is

not in violation of the law.

Halogen lamps contain gas under

pressure, in the event of breakage be

careful of the projection of fragments of

glass.

If the brake pedal is pressed while

driving on slippery roads, the

emergency stop signal system could

operate causing all of the directional

turn signals to flash.

Halogen lamps must be handled by

touching only the metallic part. If the

transparent bulb is in contact with the

fingers, reduces the intensity of the

emitted light and you can also affect the

life of the lamp. In case of accidental

contact, rub the bulb with a cloth

After replacing a headlight bulb,

always check its alignment.

When the weather is cold or damp

or after heavy rain or washing, the

surface of headlights or rear lights may

steam up and/or form drops 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

center of the diffuser, extending

To replace the bulb, contact your

authorized dealer.

When a light is not working, check

that the corresponding fuse is intact

before replacing the bulb. For the

location of fuses, refer to the section on

“Replacing Fuses” in this chapter.

progressively towards the edges.

Use the protective cover and carton for the

replacement bulb to dispose of the old

bulb promptly and out of the reach of

children.

Note:

When removing the lens or light unit

using a flathead screwdriver, make

sure that the flathead screwdriver does

not contact the interior terminal. If the

flathead screwdriver contacts the

terminal, a short circuit may occur.
