GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

❒

When a light is not working, check

that the corresponding fuse is intact

before changing a bulb. For the lo-

cation of fuses, refer to the paragraph

“If a fuse blows” in this section;

❒

Before changing a bulb check the con-

tacts for oxidation;

❒

Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-

ers of the same type and power;

❒

Always check the height of the head-

light beam after changing a bulb.

IMPORTANT The headlight inner sur-

face may be lightly misted over: this is

not a fault but a natural fact due to low

temperature and the level of air humid-

ity. It will disappear as soon the head-

lights are turned on. The presence of

drops inside the headlights means wa-

ter infiltration, therefore contact Alfa

Romeo Authorized Services.

WHEN NEEDING TO CHANGE A BULB

Modifications or re-

pairs to the electrical

system (electronic control

units) carried out incorrectly

and without bearing the fea-

tures of the system in mind

can cause malfunctions with

the risk of fire.

WARNING

Due to high voltage,

the bulb of (Bixenon)

gas-discharge headlights must

only be replaced by experts:

danger of death! Contact Alfa

Romeo Authorized Services.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain

pressurised gas which,

if broken, may cause small

fragments of glass to be pro-

jected outwards.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs must be

handled touching only

the metallic part. If the trans-

parent bulb is touched with the

fingers, its lighting intensity is

reduced and life of the bulb

may be compromised. If

touched accidentally, rub the

bulb with a cloth moistened

with alcohol and allow to dry.
