Bulb Replacement REPLACING BULBS
Check the operation of all exterior lights before you drive the car.
Before replacing any bulb, turn off the lighting switch to avoid any
possibility of a short circuit.
NOTE: Only replace bulbs with the same type and specification.
Halogen bulbs
With the exception of cars equipped with Xenon light units,
Halogen bulbs are used for all headlight dipped and main beams.
This type of bulb may shatter in use if the glass has been scratched,
or contaminated with oil or perspiration. Take care NOT to touch
the glass with your fingers; always use a cloth to handle the bulb.
If necessary, clean the glass with methylated spirits to remove
fingerprints.
Xenon light units
Some cars in the model range are fitted with Xenon dipped
headlight units. Xenon lights provide significantly improved
visibility, especially during adverse weather and driving conditions.
The operational life of a Xenon light is significantly longer than
that of a conventional or Halogen bulb. However, the very high
voltage required to ignite the gas and metal vapour used to power
Xenon lights could cause very serious injury. Replacement or
maintenance of Xenon light units should only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
