Bulb monitor 
The bulb monitor checks whether the lights on the vehicle
are working.
If a defective bulb is detected, or if one of the lights has failed for any rea-
son, the bulb monitor symbol  will appear in the display together with an
additional message (which goes out after 5 seconds). For instance, if the
rear left turn signal is not working, the display in the instrument panel will
show the following message:
Left rear turn signal
The message disappears after 5 seconds. Press the CHECK button briefly if
you wish to call up the message again.
If the display indicates that one of the lights is not working, this can have a
number of causes:
● Bulb failure ⇒ page 264.
● A “blown” fuse ⇒ page 262, Changing fuses.
● Faulty electrical wiring.
It is not necessary to have lamps replaced in a specialised workshop, how-
ever the use of Xenon lamps is recommended.
LED lamps
If any of the LED (Light Emitting Diode) functions fail, the complete lamp
should be replaced.
The failure of the lamp is only shown when the LED function goes out com-
pletely. Sometimes, a LED will stop working, without displaying the warning
as the function continues to operate.WARNING
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.
● The high voltage element of gas discharge bulbs* (xenon light) must
be handled correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.

Speed warning*  Introduction
The speed warning function can help prevent you exceeding
a particular pre-set maximum speed.

warning function
The speed warning function will warn the driver if a pre-set maximum speed
is exceeded. The system gives an warning buzzer signal if the set speed is 

Closing the sunroof manually
The sunroof can be closed by hand if the electrical system
should fail to operate.

ual operations –
Carefully insert the flat end of a screwdriver at the rear of the
glass cover on the interior light ⇒ fig. 83.
– Carefully lever off the glass cover.
– Take the crank handle from its mounting on the inside of the
fuse box cover ⇒ page 262.
– Insert the crank handle 1
all the way into the hexagonal socket
2 ⇒ fig. 84.
– Hold the crank handle in position and turn it to close the sun-
roof.
– Reinstall the glass cover: insert the plastic lugs first and then
press the cover upwards.
– Have the fault repaired. 

Fuses
Changing fuses
If a fuse has blown, it must be replaced.
Fig. 199 Left side of
dash panel: Fuse box cov-
er
Fig. 200 Schematic
drawing of fuse box at
the left-hand end of dash
panel: Fuses (without
fuse cover) –
Switch off the ignition and its failed electrical component.
– Remove the fuse cover using a screwdriver ⇒ fig. 199.
– Identify the fuse corresponding to the damaged electric con-
sumer ⇒ page 263, Fuse assignment.
– 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 amp rating.
– Fit the fuse cover back on.
The individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are loca-
ted behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel.
Two spare fuses and a sticker identifying the fuses are provided on the in-
side of the fuse cover. There is also a crank handle for operating the sun-
roof* by hand (if the electrical system fails).
CAUTION
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could result in fire. It could also cause dam-
age 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. 

Some of the electrical items listed in the table are only fitted on certain
models or are optional extras.
The electric windows and electric seat adjusters are protected by circuit
breakers. These reset automatically after a few seconds when the overload
(caused for example by frozen windows) has been corrected. 

Bulbs
General information
You can change the following bulbs for exterior lights yourself:
● Main headlights: all bulbs (except xenon headlights)
● Tail lights: all bulbs
● Side turn signal bulb
The following bulbs can only be changed by a qualified workshop:
● Main headlights: Xenon* bulb ⇒ page 271
● Front fog lights: Bulb
As a rule, you require a certain degree of practical skill to change defective
bulbs. This applies in particular to those bulbs which are only accessible
from the engine compartment.
If in doubt, we recommend that you have defective bulbs changed by a
qualified workshop or qualified mechanic.
If you do decide to change bulbs in the engine compartment yourself, be
aware of the safety risks involved ⇒ page 226 ⇒ 
in Types of bulbs on
page 265. The name of many of the lamps fitted by SEAT ends in "LL". This means Long
Life. These lamps are used for functions with a long service time (dipped
beam, side lights, daylight driving, etc.). This does not apply to lamps with
a shorter service time (turn signals, etc.). A lamp with the same name ex-
cept for the last two letters, "LL“ or “SLL”, is compatible, but will have a
service life of approximately half of the LongLife lamps.
When replacing lamp bulbs, the same type of bulb as originally fitted
should always be used where possible.
