P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N Model with halogen headlamps
In some climatic conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the pres-
ence of misting on the internal sur-
face of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal; it disap-
pears after the lamps have been on
for a few minutes.
The headlamps are fi tted with poly-
carbonate glass with a protective
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 coating and their
seals.

 Do not touch the bulb di-
rectly with your fi ngers,
use lint-free cloths.
Changing a halogen bulb should
only be done after the headlamp
has been switched off for a few
minutes (risk of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
