Lamps and bulbs

Xenon lamps

The operating life of these lamp units is
extremely long and the likelihood of fail-
ure very low, provided that they are not
switched on and off a very great num-
ber of times. If one of these bulbs
should nevertheless fail, it is possible to
continue driving with great caution us-
ing the fog lamps, provided traffic laws
in your area do not prohibit this.

Because of the extremely high
voltages involved, any work on the

lighting system should be carried out by
technically-qualified personnel only.
Failure to comply with this creates a
risk of fatal injury.
