Lighting systems
The lighting system has been designed to increase security in low visibility conditions, such as
night-time or fog. These lighting systems can be powered by dynamos or batteries. If a dynamo
is used, it must be properly installed and adjusted, so that it is in the "On" position thanks to
the spinning motion of the wheel to provide the necessary power to the lighting system (at a
minimum speed of 6km/h).
WARNING When the bike is stopped, the dynamo cannot generate energy for the light bulbs,
thus reducing visibility and causing you to not be seen by other vehicles. In this case, use batte-
ries or avoid stopping in poorly lit areas.
Once the dynamo is connected, make sure the light shines and is properly aimed so that you
can have optimum light and luminosity. The lighting system must be kept clean.
Remember that your field of view is smaller at night; therefore, you should reduce your speed
and adapt to the conditions. You are less visible at night than during the day, even if your lights
are on. Ride defensively.
In addition, we recommend you change the light bulbs in your system every six months because
there is no indicator to warn you if they are broken. You will run the risk of being left without
functioning lights when you most need them.
Avoid pulling or cutting cables of the lighting system; if they are damaged, the lights will stop
working.
Installation
If your bicycle does not have a set of lights and you would like to add them, we recommend you
talk to your authorized dealer.
If you want to change the light bulbs in your lighting system, check the voltage and power of the
original bulbs. If you have any questions, talk to your authorized dealer.
Installing a light bulb
- Find the screw for the cover behind the rear or front light.
- Unscrew it using a Phillips screwdriver.
- Take apart the light bulb so that you can unscrew the bulb itself. Be careful not to break the
light bulb when removing it.
- Install the new light bulb in its place and follow the instructions in reverse.
