If and when
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.

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 sys-
tem must be checked by a specialised 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.
● In addition to the fuses listed in the following tables, there are other
fuses which must be replaced by the Technical Service Workshop.

Bulb change
General notes
Before changing any bulb, first turn off the failed component.
Do not touch the bulb glass. Fingerprints vaporise in the heat, causing a re-
duction in the bulb life and condensation on the mirror surface, thus reduc-
ing efficiency.
A bulb should only be replaced by one of the same type. The type is inscri-
bed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
It is highly recommended to keep a box of spare bulbs in the vehicle. At the
very least, the following spare bulbs, which are essential for road safety,
should be kept in the vehicle.
Main headlights
● Dipped beam – H7
● Main beam – H1
● Side light – W5W
● Turn signal – PY21W Xenon headlights

● Turn signal repeater – W5W
1)
On this type of headlight, the bulb changes must be made by the SEAT dealer, given that
complex elements must be removed from the vehicle and a reset must be made on the
automatic control system incorporated.
2) The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the light flux and have an average lifespan of 5 times
more than that of halogen bulbs, this means that, except due to unusual circumstances,
there is no need to change the bulbs for the whole life of the vehicle.
3) Electronically controlled single filament bulb for Stop/side bulbs. If the bulb blows it will
not work in either position or Stop.
4) Only in the LED light models. The LED modules cannot be replaced. The other lights, turn
signal light, fog light and reverse light can be replaced. If the warning lamp for the brake
light or side light (LED lights) lights up, the tail light assembly should be replaced. The fail-
ure of the lamp is only shown when the LED function goes out completely. Sometimes, a
LED will stop working, without displaying the warning as the function continues to operate.
