Lamp change
General notes
Before changing any lamp first turn off the equipment concerned.
Do not touch the lamp glass. Fingerprints vaporise in the heat, causing a
reduction in the lamp life and condensation on the mirror surface, thus
reducing efficiency.
A lamp should only be placed by one of the same type. The designation is
inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
It is highly recommended to keep a box of spare lamps in the vehicle. At the
very least, the lamps that most affect road safety should have spares in the
vehicle.

Note
• Due to the difficulty involved in accessing certain lamps, any replacement
work should be done by a Technical Service. However, the following is a
description of how to change the lamps except for the fog lights and interior
lamps.
19)
On this type of headlight, the bulb changes must be made by the Technical Service,
given that complex elements must be removed from the vehicle and a reset must be
made on the automatic control system incorporated
20)
The Xenon discharge lamps discharge 2.5 times the light flux and an average lifespan
of 5 times more than that of halogen lamps, this means that, except due to unusual
circumstances, there is no need to change the bulbs for the whole life of the vehicle
21)
Electronically controlled single filament lamp for Stop/Position lamp. If the lamp
blows it will not work in either position or Stop position
