REPLACING INCANDESCENT BULBS

Before replacing bulbs, disconnect the corresponding electrical consumer from the power supply.

Do not touch the bulb glass with bare hands. At high temperature, fingerprints darken and leave a stain, which later is projected onto the mirror surface and darkens the reflector accordingly.

Only bulbs of equivalent type may be installed. The bulb wattage and other specifications are marked on the base.

Always carry spare bulbs. They can be purchased at service stations.

At least the following bulbs should be kept as spares:

12 V 60/55 W - H-4 headlights; 12 V 55 W - H-1 headlights; 12 V 21 W - turn signal; 12 V 25/5 W - brake light and tail light; 12 V 4 W - front clearance lights; 12 V 4 W - license plate lights

To replace the main headlight bulbs located at the front of the engine compartment, remove the following covers:

- Left headlight cover: secured with Phillips-head screws. - Right headlight cover: first unclip the rubber clamp (see illustration) and remove the air filter intake hose.

Open the cover by pressing the clips in the direction of the arrows and pull it upward.
