Replacement Of Lamp Bulbs - Mitsubishi XPANDER HEV 2023 Manual

CAUTION
 If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short time, we recommend you to have the
electrical system checked to find the cause
and rectify it.
 Never use a fuse with a larger capacity than
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires
to overheat and create a fire.

Replacement of lamp bulbs

Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is
off. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets
hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
CAUTION
 Do not install commercially available LED-
type bulbs.
Commercially available LED-type bulbs
could adversely affect the operation of the
vehicle, such as by preventing the lamps and
other vehicle equipment from operating
properly.
 Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
 Handle halogen lamp bulb with care. The gas
inside a halogen lamp bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching a
halogen lamp bulb can cause it to shatter.
 Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the bulb
to break the next time the headlamps are
operated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be
cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc., and
refit it after drying thoroughly.

Replacement of lamp bulbs
NOTE
 If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
 Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
 When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes
becomes foggy. This is the same phenome-
non as when window glass mists up on a
humid day, and does not indicate a functional
problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers
inside the lamp, we recommend you to have
the lamp checked.

CAUTION
 When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a new
bulb of the same type, wattage, and colour.
If you install a different bulb, the bulb could
malfunction or fail to come on and could
lead to a vehicle fire.
