CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing it: refer to the “If a
fuse blows” paragraph in this chapter
for fuse location.
❒before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power.
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb. Versions with alloy rims
❒Check that the hub contact surfaces
are clean;
❒fit the normal wheel centring it on the
pins, lead in the fastening screws and
tighten them using the wrench pro-
vided;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tight-
en the bolts in the sequence shown
in fig. 16.
❒snap fit the wheel cup on the hub.
When you have finished
❒stow the spare wheel C-fig. 11 in the
space provided in the boot;
❒Fit the jack partially open in its box B-
fig. 11forcing it lightly to prevent it
from vibrating when travelling;
❒put the tools back into their places in
the container;
❒arrange the container and tools in the
spare wheel and secure the fastening
device A-fig. 11;
❒rearrange the preformed boot cover
correctly.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) that are not car-
ried out properly or do not take the
technical specifications of the system
into account can cause malfunctions
leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which may cause
small fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards if the bulb is broken.
WARNING
Halogen lamps must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transpar-
ent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp itself. In the case of
accidental contact, rub the lamp with
a cloth and spirit and leave to dry.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after hard rain or after wash-
ing, the area of headlamps or rear lights,
may steam up and/or form drops of con-
densation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in tem-
perature and humidity between the inside
and the outside of the glass which does
not indicate a fault and does not compro-
mise the normal operation of lighting de-
vices. The mist disappears quickly turn-
ing the lights on, starting from the centre
of the diffuser, extending progressively to-
wards the edges.
