When Needing To Change Bulb - General Instructions - Alfa Romeo Brera Owner's Manual

WHEN NEEDING TO CHANGE A BULB
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 para-
graph "If a fuse blows" in this sec-
tion;
❒ Before changing a bulb check the
contacts 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 level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.
