Before charging switch off engine and all electrical consumers.
When charging with a low current (i.e. with a small battery charger)
it is generally not necessary to take off the battery cables.
Instructions from the battery charger manufacturer must, however,
be followed.

Change battery
Our batteries have been developed to suit their location and have
built-in safety elements. Original SEAT batteries comply with all
maintenance, performance and safety requirements for your

preferably done at a Technical Service Centre. Batteries contain, amongst
other things, sulphuric acid and lead and must on no account be putwith
normal household waste.

216If and when
Changing a fuse
Please note the warnings from the "Engine compartment" chapter
and following ones, before undergoing any work on the engine or
engine compartment.
The fuses are located behind a cover in the instrument panel
⇒
fig. 45 andfig. 181.
In some models, there are additional fuses in the engine
compartment, for example on top of the battery.
• Switch off ignition and the component concerned.
• Take cover off
⇒fig. 181
• In the cover or in the fuse box you will find plastic pliers* to
remove the fuses.
• You will find the fuse layout on a label in the fuse box cover.• Remove the appropriate fuse.
• Replace blown fuse – can be recognised by the burnt metal strip
– with a fuse of same amperage.
• Replace the cover.
• If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, the
electrical system must be checked by a Technical Service Centre as
soon as possible.
K
Fuse layout
You will find the fuse layout on a label in the fuse box cover.
The meaning of the symbols on the label are explained as follows:

can be connected to the battery of another vehicle to start the
engine. The following points should be noted:
• Both batteries must be of the 12 Volt variety and the capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery must be approximately the same as that
of the flat battery.• The jumper cables must be heavy enough to carry the load. Note
cable manufacturer’s data.
• Only use jumper cables with insulated clips.
• There must be no contact between the vehicles, otherwise
current can flow as soon as the plus terminals are connected.
• The flat battery must be properly connected to the electrical
system.
• The engine of the boosting vehicle must be running.
• Ensure that the insulated clips have enough contact to metal.
This is particularly applicable to clips which are attached to the
engine block.

batteryA.
2. Other end of the red cable to the (+ +) terminal of boosting batteryB.
3. One end of (–

boosting batteryB.
4. Other end of black cable Xto a solid metal part bolted to the
block or to cylinder block itself.
Do not connect the cable to the flat battery minus terminal. The
sparks could ignite the explosive gas flowing out of the battery.
• Start the engine as described in the “Starting engine” section.
• If the engine does not start at once, stop using starter after 10
seconds, wait about half a minute and then try again.

It is not recommended to tow start a vehicle. We recommend the use of
another vehicle’s battery. Check the "Start up help" chapter.
There are various reasons why a vehicle should n no

, the following
points must be noted in addition to the details on the previous
page:
• Selector lever at “N N
”.
• Do not have the vehicle towed faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Do not tow further than 30 miles (50 kilometres).
If the vehicle has to be towed long distances it must be lifted at the
front.
Reason: When the engine is not running, the gearbox oil pump is
not working and the gearbox is not adequately lubricated for high
speeds or long distances.
• With a breakdown vehicle the vehicle may only be suspended at
the front.
Reason: If given a rear suspended tow, the drive shafts turn
backwards. The planetary gears in the automatic gearbox then turn
at such high speeds that the gearbox will be severely damaged in
a short time.
