REPLACING A BULB

160) 161) 162) 163)

69)

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before replacing a bulb check the

contacts for oxidation;

replace blown bulbs with others of the

same type and power;

after replacing a headlight bulb, always

check its alignment;

when a light is not working, check that

the corresponding fuse is intact before

changing the bulb. For the location of

fuses, refer to the paragraph "If a fuse

blows" in this chapter.
WARNING In some particular climate

conditions such as low teperature,

humidity or after washing the car, a thin

condensation layer may form on the

internal surfaces of the front and rear

headlights. This is a natural phenomenon

due to the difference in temperature and

humidity between the inside and the

outside of the transparent cover which

does not indicate a fault and does not

compromise the normal operation of

lighting devices. It will disappear during

normal use.

IN AN EMERGENCY

194

WARNING

160)

Before replacing the bulb, wait for the

exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF

SCALDING!

161)

Modifications or repairs to the electric

system that are not carried out properly

or do not take the system technical

specifications into account can cause

malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

162)

Halogen bulbs contain pressurised

gas, in the case of breakage they may burst

causing glass fragments to be projected

outwards.

163)

Only replace the light bulbs when the

engine is off and in a position that does not

interfere with traffic and lets you safely

replace them (see the description in the

“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure

that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk of

burns.

IMPORTANT

69)

Halogen bulbs must be handled holding

the metallic part only. Touching the

transparent part of the bulb with your

fingers may reduce the intensity of the

emitted light and even reduce the lifespan

of the bulb. In the event of accidental

contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth

moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.
