WARNING
Opening and closing doors carelessly can
cau se seriou
s injury.
● If the vehicle is locked from outside, the
doors and w
indows cannot be opened from
the inside.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car
. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
get themselves to safety.
● Depending on the time of the year, temper-
ature
s inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children. WARNING
Getting in the way of the doors and the pan-
oramic s
liding sunroof is dangerous and can
lead to serious injury.
● Open and close the doors and the panor-
amic slidin
g sunroof only when nobody is in
the way. CAUTION
When opening and closing in an emergency,
car ef
ully disassemble components and then
reassemble them carefully to avoid damage
to the vehicle. Fuses and bulbs

page 42
Due to the constant updating of vehicles,
fuse assignments based on equipment and
the use of the same fuse for various electrical
components, it is not possible to provide an
up-to-date summary of the fuse positions for
the electrical components at the time of
printing this manual. For detailed information
about the fuse positions, please consult a
technical service.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible. WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
give seriou s
electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death! ●
Never t ouc
h the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion system.
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrica
l system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridgin g a curr
ent circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury.
● Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only
repl
ace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
● Never repair a fuse.
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or simil
ar. CAUTION
● To pr ev
ent damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fuse,
you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entr
y of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system.
● Always carefully remove the fuse box cov-
ers and r
efit them correctly to avoid problems
with your vehicle. 90

Fuses and bulbs
●
Prot ect
the fuse boxes when open to avoid
the entry of dust or humidity. Dirt and humid-
ity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to
the electrical system. Note
● In the vehic
le, there are more fuses than
those indicated in this chapter. These should
only be changed by a specialised workshop.
● One component may have more than one
fuse.
● Sev
eral components may run on a single
fuse. Changing bulbs
Intr oduction Changing bulbs requires a certain amount of
m
anual
sk
ill. 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 required if other vehicle
components must be removed or if the dis-
charge bulbs must be replaced.
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
vehicl
e exterior lighting is against the law.
Additional bulb specifications
The specifications of some headlamp bulbs
and bulbs for the rear lamps fitted at the fac-
tory may be different to those of conventional
bulbs. 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 c l
early visible to other drivers, there is a
risk of accident. WARNING
Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause
serious ac
cidents.
● Before carrying out any work in the engine
compar
tment please read and observe the
warnings ››› page 268. In any vehicle, the en-
gine compartment is a hazardous area and
could cause severe injury.
● Discharge lamps work with high-voltage
and can cau
se serious or fatal injury if han-
dled incorrectly.
● H7 and discharge bulbs are highly pressur-
ised and cou
ld explode when being changed.
● Only replace the bulbs concerned when
they hav
e cooled.
● Never replace bulbs alone if you are not fa-
miliar w
ith the operations necessary. If you are not sure about procedures then visit a
spec
i
alised workshop to carry out the neces-
sary work.
● Never touch the bulb glass directly. Finger-
prints w
ill be evaporated by the heat of the
operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflec-
tor.
● The headlamp frameworks in the engine
compar
tment and the rear lamps contain
sharp elements. Always protect your hands
when changing bulbs. CAUTION
● Aft er c
hanging 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 sy
stem. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights and the parking light
before c
hanging a bulb.
● Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents. 91

Operation
Unlocking and locking the boot hatch
When the v
ehic
le is locked, the hatch auto-
matically unlocks on opening if ››› Fig. 131
there is a valid vehicle key in the proximity.
Open or close the hatch normally
››› page 122.
After closing, the hatch locks automatically.
In the following instances, the rear lid does
not lock automatically after closing:
● If the entire vehicle is unlocked.
● If the key used last is inside the vehicle. All
vehicl
e indicator lights flash four times. The
vehicle will lock again after a few seconds if
no door or boot hatch are opened.
Locking the vehicle with a second key
If there is a vehicle key inside the vehicle and
it is locked from the outside with a second
vehicle key, the key inside the vehicle is
blocked for engine ignition ››› page 182. In
order to enable engine ignition, the button on the key inside the vehicle needs to be
pr
e
s
sed ››› Fig. 129.
Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensor on
the passenger door is automatically disa-
bled.
If the exterior sensor on the door handle is
often activated unusually with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches of a bush rub-
bing ag
ainst it), all proximity sensors are dis-
abled for a time. If this only happens with the
exterior sensor on the driver's door, only this
sensor is disabled.
Sensors will again be enabled:
● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
ton on the key.
● OR: if the boot is opened.

The sensor surfaces on the door handles
cou l
d engage if hit with a water jet or high
pressure steam if there is a valid vehicle key
in the nearby area. If at least one of the win-
dows is open and the sensor surface B on one of the handle permanently activates, all
windo
w
s will close. If the water jet or steam
is briefly moved away from the sensor sur-
face A on one of the handles and then poin-
ted at it
again, all the windows will probably
open ››› page 116, Convenience functions. Note
● If the v
ehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, it is likely that the vehicle
will not be able to be lock or unlocked with
the Keyless Access system. The vehicle can
be unlocked or locked manually ››› page 89.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the syst
em fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of sa
lt, how the sensors on the door han-
dles operate may be affected. If this is the
case, wash the vehicle ››› page 250.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
