FRONT TURNING BULB REPLACEMENT

DISMOUNTING

Disconnect the connector (3).
Rotate the holder  (4) and remove it.
Remove the worn bulb from the holder

REMOUNTING

Perform the dismounting operations in  the reverse order, with the checking of the  correct

holder (4) positioning to avoid dust and humidity penetration in the headlamp assembly.

The turning lamps are using orange color bulb; when replacing the bulb, use the same bulb

type.

 FRONT PARKING BULB REPLACEMENT

DISMOUNTING

Rotate the holder  (5) and remove it.
Extract the worn bulb from the holder.

REMOUNTING

Perform the dismounting operations in  the reverse order, with the checking of the  correct

HEADLAMP-FRONT LAMP ASSEMBLY SEALING

(getting fogged, it has condensation water or water penetration)

Check the front part of the assembly: direct
a water jet towards the headlamp glass.
Is the water penetrating inside the headlamp?

Is water penetrating inside the parking-turning
lamp?

Visually check the headlamp rear part; rubber
protector of the headlamp bulb is correctly
mounted?

The headlamp adjustment corrector is well
mounted?

The headlamp bulb is correctly mounted?

The aeration holes are clogged?

The hea dlamp is steamed out or it has
condensation water inside?

Visually check the rear part of the parking-
turning lamp; the parking bulb holder is
correctly mounted?

The turning bulb holder is correctly mounted?

Replace the headlamp.

Replace the parking-turning  lamp.

Mount correctly the rubber protector of the
headlamp bulb. If this is not good, replace it.

Mount correctly the headlamp adjustment
corrector and its rubber protector. If protector
is not good, replace it.

Mount correctly the headlamp bulb.

If possible, eliminate the clogging cause. If
not possible, replace the headlamp.

Explain the client that this fact is a natural
one, not a damage and there is no headlamp
corrosion risk. The condensation water will
disappear when the headlamp will be lighted;
the disappearing time of the condensation
water   is subject  to the  environmental
humidity.

Mount correctly the parking bulb holder. If
its gasket is not good, replace it.

Mount correctly the turning bulb holder. If
its gasket is not good, replace it.

REMARK : If the client is insisting, proceed to headlamp drying:

- blow with dry air, if possible;
- naturally dry the headlamp by turning on the headlamps for couple of minutes

till condensation water elimination or headlamp defogging.

MEETING LIGHTS ADJUSTMENT (LOW BEAM)

This is performed by  acting  upon the V screw

(vertically plane adjustment) or H (horizontally
plane adjustment). By screwing, the lighting beam
is ”lowering” and by unscrewing is “ascending”.

Check if the lighted area is centered on the

vertical axis and if the optical separation at 15°
coincide with the headlamp lighting. An error of
1 cm is admissible.

A lighting beam displaced  towards  left has

the aspect shown in (picture a) and a  lighting
beam displaced towards right has the aspect
shown in (picture b)

ROAD LIGHTS ADJUSTMENT (LONG BEAM)

Check the position to coincide with the

adjustment performed for low beam and with
the lighting beam distributed between the two
vertical lines on the panel

When checking the long beam, the lighting

center of the ellipse, must be located on the
cross marking the screen center.

If a major deviation compared with the low beam is noticed, it is recommended the bulb

replacement, this one being in most of the cases, responsible for such defect.

FOG PROJECTORS ADJUSTMENT

The fog projectors adjustment is to be performed in the following conditions:

-

the vehicle to be placed on a horizontal surface;

-

the vehicle has not passengers inside the cockpit or weights in the trunk;

-

the tires are pressurized at the manufacturer prescribed pressure.

Further on, proceed as follows:
Bring the vehicle at the working place.
Position the adjustment device (headlamp adjustment device –E) in front of an optical center

of a fog lamp.

Switch on the fog projectors. Rotate the adjustment screw of the fog lamp (D),  by means of

a screwdriver (A), so that an adjustment of 2 % is obtained and the separation between the
lighted area and the dark one from the adjustment device is located under the marked line (G)

This adjustment is to be performed in the same way as for the meeting lights adjustment.
Bring the adjustment device in front of the optical center of the second fog lamp;
Perform the fog projector adjustment;
Switch off the fog projectors.
