Replacement of lamp bulbsMaintenance / Replacement of lamp bulbs
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the reflector and dim the surface.
► Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You
could otherwise be burnt.
Note
► If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, we recommend you
to consult a specialist.
► Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a lamp or lens.
► When it rains or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimes
becomes foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathers
inside the lamp, we recommend you to have the lamp checked.
