the boot correctly, fi rst remove
the central cover.
When using the "space-saver"
type spare wheel, do not exceed
50 mph (80 km/h).

CHANGING A BULB
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,

washer on persistent marks,
do not keep the lance direct-
ed towards the lamps or their
edges for too long, so as not
to damage their protective
coating and seals.
)
Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use lint-
free cloths.
Changing a 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 head-
lamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with
a new bulb with the same type
