seals. Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!

fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is
normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
