You are advised to change both
D1S bulbs at the same time, if one
of them has failed.
The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate 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 protective coat-
ing 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 headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specifi cation.
