GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS

Before changing a bulb check the

contacts for oxidation;

IMPORTANT The use of hazard warning

lights is governed by the highway

code of the country you are driving in:

comply with legal requirements.

burnt bulbs must be replaced by

others of the same type and power;

after replacing a headlight bulb,

always check its alignment;

when a light is not working, check

that the corresponding fuse is intact

before changing a bulb. For the location

of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a

fuse blows” in this section;

IMPORTANT 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 centre of the diffuser, extending

progressively towards the edges.
