Practical information
Changing a bulb
For bulbs that have alignment lugs
(H1, H7...) ensure that they are
fitted correctly for the best lighting
performance. The headlamps have
polycarbonate lenses with
a protective coating:
)
do not clean them using
a dr y 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 keep the lance directed
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 fingers, 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
specification.
Risk of electrocution
Replacement of the xenon bulbs
(D1S-35W) must be carried out by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
