Replacing the reverse light bulb in this vehicle is undoubtedly one of the simplest and quickest tasks you can perform. In fact, it can be done by anyone without any issues, just follow these instructions.

Before you start, remember to turn off the engine and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for the entire duration of the work. Then, lift the boot and locate a small black plastic cap in the upper corner of the fabric cover.

Remove it using a small flat screwdriver and also move the cover itself. Just below, you will find the two connectors for the respective bulbs.

Disconnect the green one and unscrew the bulb by turning it counterclockwise. Replace it with a new one and reconnect the connector.

Reposition the fabric cover and the plastic button, and finally, close the boot.
