The LPG tank ⇒ in the spare wheel well has a capacity of 39 litres at an
outside temperature of 15°C. ⇒ page 221, “Refuelling with LPG”.
The level of LPG in the tank is shown by the five control lights ⇒fig. 36
and . It varies with the outside temperatures.
When the LPG tank is full, the blue lights come on and as the level goes
down the blue lights go out. When the level reaches the reserve, the lamp, , comes on.
When the LPG tank is empty, a long warning buzz is heard. Warning lamp
comes on and warning lamps flash slowly. To switch off the warning
buzzer, press the switch . Refill with LPG at the earliest opportunity. If while driving with LPG, a sudden warning buzz is heard, lamp lights up
and lamps flash quickly, this means that there is a fault in the LPG system.
To switch off the warning buzzer, press the switch . Take the vehicle
to a specialised workshop to check the LPG system.
WARNING
LPG is a highly explosive and inflammable substance. It may cause severe
burns and other injury.•Due care must be taken to avoid any risk of fire or explosion.•When parking the vehicle in a closed area (for example in a garage),
make sure that there is adequate ventilation, either natural or mechanical,
to neutralise the LPG in the event of a leak.

– Identify the fuse for the failed component ⇒page 264.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover, fit it onto the blown fuse and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip) with a new fuse of the same ampere rating.
Fuse cover in engine compartment
– Switch off the ignition and its failed electrical component.
– Prise off the fuse cover in the engine compartment by pressing the tabs towards the centre of the cover ⇒page 261, fig. 183 .
– Identify the fuse for the failed component ⇒ page 264.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover (at left-hand end of the dash panel), fit it onto the blown fuse and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip) with a new fuse of the same ampere rating.
– Carefully fit the fuse cover back on to ensure no water can enter the fuse box.The individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located
behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel and on the left-hand
side of the engine compartment.
The electric windows are protected by circuit breakers. These reset automat-
ically after a few seconds when the overload (caused for example by frozen
windows) has been corrected. Fuses colour code
WARNING
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could result in fire. This could also cause
damage to other parts of the electrical system.
Note
•If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical
system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.•If you replace a fuse with higher-rating fuse, you could cause damage to
another location in the electrical system.•Always keep some spare fuses in the vehicle. These are available from
SEAT dealers.
