10 Maintenance and service
Lamp replacement - headlamps
NOTE
All of the headlamp bulbs are replaced via the
engine compartment. First loosen and remove
the whole headlamp.
Outside lighting such as headlamps and
rear lamps may temporarily have conden-
sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-
mal, all exterior lighting is designed to
withstand this. Condensation is normally
vented out of the lamp housing when the
lamp has been switched on for a time.
