BULB REPLACEMENT
LOW BEAM HEADLAMP,
HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP,
PARK/TURN LAMP, INNER
PARK LAMP, AND OUTER
PARK LAMP
High Intensity Discharge
Headlamps (HID) (for
versions/markets, where
provided)CAUTION!
Where possible, it is advisable to
have bulbs changed at a LANCIA
Dealership. Proper operation and
orientation of the external lights are
essential for driving safety and com-
plying with the law.
The headlamps are a type of high
voltage discharge tube. High voltage
can remain in the circuit even with the headlamp switch off and the key re-
moved.
Because of this, you should
not attempt to service a headlamp
bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb
fails, take your vehicle to an au-
thorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at
the bulb sockets of HID headlamps
when the headlamp switch is turned
ON. It may cause serious electrical
shock or electrocution if not serviced
properly. See your authorized dealer
for service.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with HID
headlamps, when the headlamps
are turned on, there is a blue hue
to the lights. This diminishes and
becomes more white after ap-
proximately 10 seconds, as the sys-
tem charges. Standard Low Beam Headlamp,
