Fuses
Introduction
Due to the constant update of vehicles, fuse assignments depending on
equipment and the use of the same fuse for various electrical components, at
the time of printing this manual it is not possible to provide an up-to-date
summary of the electrical components fuse positions. For detailed informa-
tion about the fuse positions, please consult a qualified workshop.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various electrical components. Like-
wise, an electrical component can be protected by several fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the problem has been solved. If a newly
inserted fuse blows after a short time, you must have the electrical system
checked by a qualified dealership as soon as possible.
Additional information and warnings:
xWorking in the engine compartment Ÿpage 304
WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can give serious electrical
shocks, causing burns and even death!
xNever touch the electrical wiring of the ignition system.
xTake care not to cause short circuits in the electrical system.
WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or bridging a current circuit without
fuses can cause a fire and serious injury.
xNever use a fuse with a higher value. Only replace fuses with a fuse of
the same amperage (same colour and markings) and size.
xNever repair a fuse.
xNever replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple or similar.
Caution
xTo avoid damage to the vehicles electric system, before replacing a fuse
turn off the ignition, the lights and all electrical elements and remove the
keys from the ignition.
xIf you replace a fuse with higher-rating fuse, you could cause damage to
another part of the electrical system.
xProtect the fuse boxes when open to avoid the entry of dust or humidity.
Dirt and humidity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to the electrical
system.
Note
One single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Note
Several consumers could run over one single fuse.

Vehicle fuses
Only replace fuses with a fuse of the same amperage (same colour and mark-
ings) and size.Identifying fuses by colours
To open the dashboard fuse box
xReach behind the cover with your hand Ÿfig. 209 and pull forwards.
To open the engine compartment fuse box
xOpen the bonnet ’ Ÿpage 304.
xMove the attachment tabs forwards, in the direction indicated by the
arrow to release the fuse box cover Ÿfig. 210.
xThen lift the cover out.
xTo fit the cover, place it on the fuse box. Push the attachment tabs back,
in the opposite direction indicated by the arrow until they click audibly into
place.
In is possible that there are more fuses behind a cover in the lower left-hand
side of the luggage compartment.

Caution
xAlways carefully remove the fuse box covers and refit them correctly to
avoid problems with your vehicle.
xProtect the fuse boxes when open to avoid the entry of dust or humidity.
Dirt and humidity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to the electrical
system.
Note
In the vehicle, there are more fuses than those indicated in this chapter.
These should only be changed by a specialist workshop.
Replacing a blown fusePreparation
xSwitch off the ignition, lights and all electrical equipment.
xOpen the corresponding fuse box Ÿpage 357
Identifying a blown fuse
A fuse is blown if its metal strip is ruptured Ÿfig. 211.
Point a lamp at the fuse. This will make it easier to see if the fuse is blown.
To replace a fuse
xIf necessary, remove the plastic pincers from the fuse box cover.
xFor small fuses, insert the pincers from above Ÿfig. 212 .
xFor larger fuses, insert the pincers from one side of the fuse Ÿfig. 212
.
xRemove the relevant fuse.
xReplace the blown fuse by one with an identical amperage rating (same
colour and markings) and identical size Ÿ.
xReplace the cover.

Changing bulbs
Introduction
Changing bulbs requires a certain amount of manual skill. If you are unsure,
SEAT recommends that you consult an qualified workshop or request assist-
ance from a specialist. In general, a specialist is required if other vehicle
components must be removed or if the discharge lamps must be replaced.
You should store spare light bulbs in the vehicle for safety-relevant lights.
Spare bulbs may be obtained from the Official dealers and workshops. In
some countries, it is a legal requirement to carry spare bulbs in the vehicle.
Driving with faults and blown bulbs on the vehicle exterior lighting is against
the law.
Additional bulb specifications
The specifications of some headlamp bulbs and bulbs for the tail lamps fitted
at the factory may be different to those of conventional bulbs. Bulb informa-
tion is displayed on the bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
Additional information and warnings:
xLights and visibility Ÿpage 113
xWorking in the engine compartment Ÿpage 304
xVehicle tools Ÿpage 353
xFuses Ÿpage 356
WARNING
If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is not clearly visible to other
drivers, there is a risk of accident.
WARNING
Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause serious accidents.
xBefore carrying out any work in the engine compartment please read
and observe the warnings Ÿpage 304. In any vehicle, the engine compart-
ment is a hazardous area and could cause severe injury.
xDischarge lamps work with high-voltage and can cause serious or fatal
injury if handled incorrectly.
xH7 and discharge lamps are highly pressurised and could explode
when being changed.
xOnly replace the bulbs concerned when they have cooled.
xNever replace bulbs alone if you are not familiar with the operations
necessary. If you are not sure about procedures then visit a qualified work-
shop to carry out the necessary work.
xNever touch the bulb glass directly. Fingerprints will be evaporated by
the heat of the operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflector.
xThe headlamp frameworks in the engine compartment and the tail
lamps contain sharp elements. Always protect your hands when changing
bulbs.
Caution
After changing a bulb, if the rubber covers and plastic caps are not replaced
correctly on the headlamp framework, the electrical installation may be
damaged, especially if water is allowed to enter.

Indicator
Several warning and control lamps should light up for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched. This signals that the lamp is working properly. They
will switch off after a few seconds.
Checking the bulbs of a trailer
For vehicles with the factory fitted trailer system, certain trailer lights are also
controlled if the socket is correctly connected.
A fault on a trailer turn indicator is indicated on the instrument panel by the
indicator blinking twice as fast (
 or
) Ÿpage 113.
xGeneral fault of all indicators on one side.
xFault in one tail light (on some models, also the registration light).
xFault in two brake lights.
WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, the vehicle may stall in
traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
xNever ignore the warning lamps or text messages.
xStop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Caution
Failure to heed the warning lamps and text messages when they appear may
result in faults in the vehicle.
Note
A fault in the LED on the tail lights will not be indicated. However, if the fault
affects all the LEDs then this will be indicated by the indicator .
Information for replacing bulbs
Checklist
To replace a bulb, carry out the following operations always in the order given
Ÿ:
1. Park the vehicle a safe distance from traffic and on suitable ground.
2. Connect the electronic parking brake Ÿpage 210.
3. Turn the light switch to position 0 Ÿpage 113.
4. Move the gear lever into the neutral position Ÿpage 113.
5. Automatic gearbox: Move selector lever to position P Ÿpage 201.
6. Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition Ÿpage 195.
7. Manual gearbox: Select a gear Ÿpage 201.
8. Wait until all of the passenger compartment lights are turned off
Ÿpage 113.
9. Allow the corresponding bulb to cool.
10. Visually inspect fuses to see if any are blown Ÿpage 356.
11. Replace the bulb according to the instructions Ÿ. Bulbs should only
be replaced by new identical models. Bulb information is displayed on
the bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
12. In general, never touch the bulb glass directly. The heat of the bulb would
cause the fingerprint to evaporate and condense on the reflector. This
will impair the brightness of the headlight.
