Fuses and bulbs
CAUTION
● Remo v
e the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights be-
fore
you change a bulb. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
pose of u

sed bulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Dependin g on w

eather conditions (cold or
wet), the front lights, the fog lights, the tail
lights and the turn signals may be temporari-
ly misted. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam
of light is projected will quickly be demisted.
However, the edges may continue to be mis-
ted.
● Please check at regular intervals that all
lighting (es
pecially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you
have the c
orrect new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bar
e hands, use a cloth or paper towel
instead. The residue left by the fingerprints
would vaporise as a result of the heat gener- ated by the bulb, they will be deposited on
the refl
ect

or and will impair its surface.
● Depending on the level of equipment fitted
in the vehic
le, LEDs may be used for part or
all of the interior and/or exterior lighting.
LEDs have an estimated life that exceeds than
that of the car. If an LED light fails, go to an
authorised workshop for its replacement. Halogen headlights.

Lights and visibility
Daytime running lights The daytime running lights consist of individ-
ual lights, int
e
grated in the front headlights.

these lights are switched on 1)
››› .
The da ytime ru

nning lights switch on every
time the ignition is switched on, if the switch
is in positions  or , according to the level
of exterior lighting.
When the light switch is in position , a
light sensor automatically switches dipped

instrument lighting) or the daytime running
lights depending on the level of exterior
lighting. WARNING

ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly

when activating the d
aytime running light
the rear lights are not switched on. A vehicle
which does not have the rear lights on may
not be visible to other drivers in the dark-
ness, in the case of heavy rain or in condi-
tions of poor visibility. Fog lights
