directional headlamps In some climatic conditions
(e.g. low temperature or hu-
midity), the presence of mist-
ing 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
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 wash-
er on persistent marks, do not di-
rect at the lamps or their outlines
for too long, so as not to damage
their coating and their seals.

 Do not touch the bulb directly 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).

violet (UV) type bulbs in order not to
damage the headlamp.
