Fuses and bulbs
Additional bulb specifications
The s
pec
ific
ations of some headlamp bulbs
and bulbs for the rear lamps fitted at the fac-
tory may be different to those of conventional
bulbs. Bulb information is displayed on the
bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
WARNING
If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is
not cl
early visible to other drivers, there is a
risk of accident.
WARNING
Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause
serious ac
cidents.
●
Before carrying out any work in the engine
compartment please read and observe the
warnings ››› page 184. In any vehicle, the en-
gine compartment is a hazardous area and
could cause severe injury.
●
The bulbs H4, HB4 and H7 are pressurised
and might explode on changing them.
●
Only replace the bulbs concerned when
they have cooled.
●
Never replace bulbs alone if you are not fa-
miliar with the operations necessary. If you
are not sure about procedures then visit a
specialised workshop to carry out the neces-
sary work.
●
Never touch the bulb glass directly. Finger-
prints will be evaporated by the heat of the
operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflec-
tor.
●
The he
adlamp frameworks in the engine
compartment and the rear lamps contain
sharp elements. Always protect your hands
when changing bulbs.
CAUTION
●
Af
ter c
hanging a bulb, if the rubber covers
are not replaced correctly on the headlamp
framework, the electrical installation may be
damaged, especially if water is allowed to en-
ter.
●
Remove the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
●
Switch off the lights and the parking light
before changing a bulb.
●
Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents.
