Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure, if
they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear on the inter-
nal surface of the headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights indicates water penetration. Contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after
hard rain or after washing, the area of headlamps or rear
lights, may steam up and/or form drops of condensation
on the inside. This is a natural phenomenon due to the dif-
ference in temperature and humidity between the inside
and the outside of the glass which does not indicate a fault
and does not compromise the normal operation of light-
ing devices. The mist disappears quickly turning the lights
on, starting from the centre of the diffuser, extending pro-
gressively towards the edges.
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch the
metal part. Touching the transparent part of
the bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even compromise the
life of the lamp. In the event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol
and leave it to dry.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Lancia Dealership. The correct
operation and orientation of the external
lights is essential for safe driving. You may be li-
able to fines if this is not the case.
