HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS: ACCESS
Access to the left-hand
headlight unit
With the engine switched off
Turn cover 1by one quarter of a turn
(in an anti-clockwise direction).
Access to the right-hand
headlight unit
With the engine switched off
Unclip cover 2.
In both cases, once the bulb has
been changed, ensure that covers 1
and 2 are correctly refitted.
The bulbs can be accessed by
removing blanking covers
1and 2
located in the wheel arches.
However, due to their reduced
accessibility (sometimes requiring
the removal of bodywork or
mechanical components), we advise
you to have your bulbs replaced by
your Renault Dealer .
Take care when working in
the engine compartment as
the engine cooling fan may
start to operate at any
moment without warning.
Risk of injury.
