IN AN EMERGENCY
174
WARNING
161) Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
162) 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.
163) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may burst
causing glass fragments to be projected
outwards.
164) 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
67) 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.

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 temperature,
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.
