REPLACING A BULB
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.
To replace the bulb, contact an authorized
dealer.
When a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before
replacing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the section on “Replacing
Fuses” in this chapter.
NOTE:
When removing the lens or light unit using
a flathead screwdriver, make sure that the
flathead screwdriver does not contact the
interior terminal. If the flathead screw
-
driver contacts the terminal, a short circuit
ma
y occur.
When the weather is cold or damp or after
heavy rain or washing, the surface of head-
lights or rear lights may steam up and/or
f
o
rm drops of condensation on the inside.
This is a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the
glass which does not indicate a fault and
does not compromise the normal operation
of lighting devices. The mist disappears
quickly when the lights are turned on,
starting from the center of the diffuser,
extending progressively towards the edges.
WARNING!
Before proceeding with the replacement
of the lamp wait until the exhaust pipes
are cool: DANGER OF BURNS!
Modifications or repair of the electrical
system performed incorrectly and
without taking into account the technical
characteristics can cause malfunctions
with the risk of fire.
Halogen lamps contain gas under pres-
sure, in the event of breakage be careful
of
the projection of fragments of glass.
Halogen lamps must be handled by
touching only the metallic part. If the
transparent bulb is in contact with the
fingers, reduces the intensity of the
emitted light and you can also affect the
life of the lamp. In case of accidental
contact, rub the bulb with a cloth damp
-
ened with alcohol and allow to dry.
CAUTION!
Use the protective cover and carton for the
replacement bulb to dispose of the old
bulb promptly and out of the reach of
children.
