INSTRUCTIONS
267) Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
Observe the following precautions:
before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation
replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power
268) Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
269) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
270) Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does
not interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
"Replacement" chapter). Also make sure
that the engine is cold, to avoid burns.
271) In case of regulation of headlamps
beam height or bulb replacement, never
look directly to the lamps if they are
switched on. Risk of eye injuries!
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment
if a bulb is not working, before
replacing it, check that the respective
fuse is intact. For the location of the
fuse, refer to the "Fuse Replacement”
chapter in this section.
WARNING 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 an anomaly fault and does not
compromise the normal operation of
lighting devices. The mist disappears
WARNING
115) Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
