Fuses and bulbs
Replacing a blown fuse Fig. 145
Image of a blown fuse Preparation
● Switch off the ignition, lights and all elec-
trical equipment.
● Open the corresponding fuse box
››› page 190 .
Identif y
ing a blown fuse
A fuse is blown if its metal strip is ruptured
››› Fig. 145.
Point a lamp at the fuse. This will make it
easier to see if the fuse is blown.
To replace a fuse ● Remove the fuse.
● Replace the blown fuse by one with an
identical amperage rating (same colour and
mark

ings) and identical size ››› .●
Replace the cover again or close the fuse
box lid. CAUTION
If you replace a fuse with higher-rating fuse,
you could cause damage to another part of
the electrical system. Changing bulbs
Introduction Changing bulbs requires a certain amount of
manual skill. If you are unsure, SEAT recom-
mends that you consult a technical service or
request assistance from a specialist. In gen-
eral a specialist is needed if, in addition to
the bulbs, other vehicle components require
removal.
You should store spare light bulbs in the ve-
hicle for safety-relevant lights. Spare bulbs
may be obtained from the technical services.
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 fac-
tory may be different to those of conventionalbulbs. Bulb information is displayed on the
bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
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.
● Before carrying out any work in the engine
compartment please read and observe the
warnings ››› page 143. In any vehicle, the en-
gine c omp

artment is a hazardous area and
could cause severe injury.
● The bulbs H4, HB4 and H7 are pressurised
and might explode on changing them.
● Only replace the bulbs concerned when
they have cooled.
● Never replace bulbs alone if you are not fa-
miliar with the operations necessary. If you
are not sure about procedures then visit a
specialised workshop to carry out the neces-
sary work.
● Never touch the bulb glass directly. Finger-
prints will be evaporated by the heat of the
operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflec-
tor.
● The headlamp frameworks in the engine
compartment and the tail lamps contain
sharp elements. Always protect your hands
when changing bulbs. » 191

CAUTION
● After changing a bulb, if the rubber covers
are not replaced correctly on the headlamp
framework, the electrical installation may be damaged, especially if water is allowed to en-
ter.
● Remove the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit could occur. ●
Switch off the lights and the parking light
before changing a bulb.
● Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents. Replacing the bulbs in the headlights

Specific vehicle weight information The instructions in the official vehicle docu-

provided in this documentation is applicable
to the basic model. The vehicle data label in
the Maintenance Programme or the vehicle

Kerb weight values shown in the following ta-
ble apply to a vehicle with driver (75 kg), liq-
uids including a fuel tank 90% full, in addi-
tion to tools and a spare wheel
››› . The
kerb weight indicated increases with optional
equipment and retrofitting of accessories,
while proportionally reducing carrying ca-
pacity.
The load is equivalent to the following
weights:
● Passengers.
● Total equipment.
● Roof load, included in the carrier. WARNING
Exceeding the maximum authorised weight
and the load on the axles could cause dam-
age to the vehicle, accidents and serious in-
juries.
● The real load on the axles should never ex-
ceed the maximum permitted.
● The load and its distribution in the vehicle
have effects on the vehicle handling and the
braking ability. Always drive at a suitable
speed. CAUTION
Distribute the load as uniformly and as low
down on the vehicle as possible. When trans-
porting heavy objects in the luggage com-
partment, these should be placed as far for-
ward as possible or over the rear axle to have
as little influence on handling as possible. Information on fuel consumption
The consumption and emission values indi-
cated do not refer to one specific vehicle.
They are only to be used to compare the val-
ues of the different vehicle versions. The fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions of a vehicle
not only depend on the effective use of fuel.
They also depend on your driving style and
other non-technical factors.
Calculation of fuel consumption
Fuel consumption and emission values are
determined according to the current version
of the 715/2007/EC or 80/1268/EEC regula-
tion and are valid for the vehicle kerb weight.
The specifications do not
refer to an individu-
al

vehicle. To measure the fuel consumption,
two measuring cycles are carried out on a
rolling road test bed. The test criteria are as
follows:
