Before changing any bulb, first turn off the

failed device.

Preparation

CAUTION

●

Switch off the ignition, lights and all elec-

trical equipment.

Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with

your bare hands. The fingerprints left on the

glass will vaporise as a result of the heat gen-

erated by the bulb, reducing bulb life and

causing condensation on the reflector sur-

face, thus reducing effectiveness.

●

Always carefully remove the fuse box cov-

ers and refit them correctly to avoid problems

with your vehicle.

●

Open the corresponding fuse box

●

››› page 195.

Protect the fuse boxes when open to avoid

the entry of dust or humidity. Dirt and humid-

ity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to

the electrical system.

Identifying a blown fuse

A bulb must only be replaced by one of the

same type. The type is indicated on the bulb,

either on the glass part or on the base.

A fuse is blown if its metal strip is ruptured

››› Fig. 173.

Point a lamp at the fuse. This will make it

easier to see if the fuse is blown.

wet), the front lights, the fog lights, the tail

lights and the turn signals may be temporari-

ly misted. This has no influence on the useful

life of the lighting system. By switching on

the lights, the area through which the beam

of light is projected will quickly be demisted.

DRL (day light) - LED³⁾

Turn signals - PY 21W

With this type of headlight, the user can replace

the turn signal bulb. Replacement of the dip-

ped/main beam bulb must be done by Technical

Services, given that complex elements must be re-

moved from the vehicle and the automatic control

system that incorporates it must be reset.

The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the light flux

and have an average lifespan of 5 times more than

that of halogen bulbs, this means that, except due to

unusual circumstances, there is no need to change

the bulbs for the whole life of the vehicle.

In the event that there is a fault in the LEDs, the

complete headlight must be replaced.

Before changing a bulb, make sure you

have the correct new bulb.

●

Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with

your bare hands, use a cloth or paper towel

instead. The residue left by the fingerprints

would vaporise as a result of the heat gener-

ated by the bulb, they will be deposited on

the reflector and will impair its surface.
