Fuses
Introduction
All the electrical circuits are protected by fuses.
● Switch off the ignition and the electrical component concerned before
changing a fuse.
● Identify the fuse corresponding to the failed electrical component
⇒ page 211, Fuses in the dash panel, or ⇒ page 214, Changing fuses in
the engine compartment.
● 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.

WARNING
Read and follow the warnings ⇒ page 173, Engine compartment before
starting work in the engine compartment.
CAUTION
● Never “repair” a fuse or replace it by fitting a fuse with a higher amp rat-
ing. Risk of fire! This could also cause damage to other parts of the electri-
cal system.
● If a newly replaced fuse blow again when the electrical component con-
cerned is switched on, the electrical system must be checked by an Official
Service as soon as possible.
Note
● It is advisable to always keep spare fuses in the vehicle. The spare fuse
box is available in the range of original SEAT parts.
● One single electrical component could have more than one fuse.
● Several electrical components may be protected by the same fuse. 

Introduction
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of practical skill. If in doubt, we
recommend you have defective bulbs changed by a specialised service or,
in case of an emergency, seek professional assistance.
● Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before changing a bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands. The finger-
prints left on the glass will vaporise as a result of the heat generated by the
bulb, causing a reduction in bulb life and condensation on the mirror sur-
face, thus reducing efficiency.
● A bulb must only be replaced by one of the same type. The type is indi-
cated on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
● There is a storage area for the bulb box in the spare wheel well or below
the carpet in the luggage compartment.

Partial description of the vehicle
Weight in running order
Fuel consumption (in litres per/100 km (miles)) – urban/on the motor-
way/combined
Combined CO
2 emissions (g/km (miles))
Type plate
The type plate ⇒ Fig. 168 is located at the bottom of the front driver side
door pillar between the front and rear door.
The type plate indicates the following weights:
Total permitted weight of the vehicle when loaded
Maximum authorised weight of the vehicle with a trailer, when the vehi-
cle operates as a tractor
Maximum permitted load of the front axle
Maximum permitted load of the rear axle
Weight in running order
The weight in running order only has one approximate value. This value cor-
responds to the minimum operative weight of the vehicle without additional
equipment that increases its weight, i.e. air conditioning, spare wheel, tow-
ing bracket.
The weight in running order also includes 75 kg of the weight of the driver
and the service liquids, in addition to a fuel tank at 90 % capacity.
From the difference between the total permitted weight in running order the
approximate carrying capacity can be calculated ⇒ 
.
The carrying capacity must include:
● occupants
● all pieces of equipment and other weights
● roof loads incl. roof rack 

230Description of the data
Consult the section “wheels” of this manual.
Wheel bolts
After the wheels have been changed, the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts should be checked as soon as possible with a torque wrench ⇒ 
.
The tightening torque for steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.
WARNING
● Check the tyre pressure at least once per month. Checking the tyre
pressure is very important. If the tyre pressure is too high or too low,
there is an increased danger of accidents, particularly at high speeds.
● If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts is too low, they could loos-
en while the vehicle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the tightening tor-
que is too high, the wheel bolts and threads can be damaged.
Note
We recommend that you ask your Technical Service for information about
appropriate wheel, tyre and snow chain size. 
