PRACTICAL INFORMATION
In some climatic conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the
internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the
lamps have been on for a few
minutes. The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a pro-
tective coating:

 do not clean them using a
dry or abrasive cloth, nor
with a detergent or solvent
product,


use a sponge and soapy water,

 when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks,
do not direct at the lamps or
their outlines for too long, so
as not to damage their coat-
ing and their seals.
