Checking and refilling levels
recommends you have the battery replaced
by a technical service.
Use only maintenance-free genuine batteries
conforming to TL 825 06 and VW 7 50 73
Standards. These standards must be dated
April 2008 or later.
Vehicles fitted with the Start-Stop system are
equipped with a special battery. Therefore,
this battery must only be replaced by another
with the same specifications.
Disconnecting the vehicle's battery
If you must disconnect the battery from the
electrical system, please note the following:
● Switch off the ignition and all electrical
equipment.
● The vehicle must be unlocked before dis-
connecting the battery, otherwise the alarm
will be triggered.
● First disconnect the negative cable and
then the positive ››› .
Connecting the vehicle's battery
● Before reconnecting the battery, switch off
the engine and all electrical devices.
● First reconnect the positive cable and then
the negative ››› .
Different control lamps may light up after
connecting the battery and switching the ig-
nition on. They will be turned off after a short trip at a speed of between 15-20 km/h
(10-12 mph). If the warning indicators remain
lit, please visit a specialised workshop to
have the vehicle checked.
If the battery has been disconnected for a
long time, it is possible that the next service
date is not displayed or calculated correctly
››› page 36 . Respect the maximum service in-
t er

Programme.
Autom
atic device disconnection
The intelligent vehicle electrical system auto-
matically implements a range of measures to
prevent the battery from discharging when
high demands are made on it:
● The idling speed is increased so that the al-
ternator provides more electricity.
● Where necessary, the power to the most
powerful devices is reduced or even com-
pletely disconnected.
● On starting the engine, the power supply
from the 12-volt power sockets and the ciga-
rette lighter may be interrupted for a short
time.
The on-board management program cannot
always prevent the battery from running flat.
For example, if the ignition is left on for a
long period with the engine off or if the side
lights or parking lights are left on while the
vehicle is stationary. Why the battery runs flat:
●
When stationary for a long time without
starting the engine, particularly if the ignition
is switched on.
● Use of electrical devices with the engine
switched off. WARNING
Incorrectly securing the battery or using the
wrong battery can cause short-circuits, fire
and serious injuries.
● Always use only maintenance-free batter-
ies, protected to prevent a leak, and whose
properties, specifications and size corre-
spond to the standard battery. WARNING
A highly explosive mixture of gases is re-
leased when the battery is under charge.
● The batteries should be charged in a well-
ventilated room only.
● Never charge a frozen or recently thawed
battery. A flat battery can also freeze at tem-
peratures close to 0 °C (+32 °F).
● Always replace a battery which has frozen.
● Battery cables not correctly connected may
cause a short circuit. Reconnect first the posi-
tive cable and then the negative cable. » 157

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
