WHEN NEEDING
TO CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒ Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb;
❒ When a bulb is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse
blows” paragraph in this chapter for
fuse location.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system that are
not carried out properly or do not
take the system’s technical specifica-
tions into account can cause mal-
functions leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain gas
under pressure, if they break
glass fragments may be thrown
around.
WARNING
When handling halogen bulbs
just touch the metal part.
Touching the transparent
part of the bulb with your fin-
gers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp. In the case of ac-
cidental contact, rub the lamp with a
cloth and spirit and leave to dry.
