›››
page 42 Identifying a blown fuse
A fuse i

s blown if its metal strip is ruptured
››› Fig. 61.
● Point a lamp at the fuse to see if it has
blown.
T

o replace a fuse
● If necessary, remove the plastic pincers
from the fu
se box cover.
● Small fuses: lock the pinc
er in from above
››› Fig. 62 A.
● Larger fuses : move the pinc
er sideways
over the fuse ››› Fig. 62 B.
● Remove the relevant fuse.
● Replace the blown fuse by one with an
identica
l amperage rating (same colour and
markings) and identical size.
● Replace the cover.

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

Lights and visibility
The legal requirements regarding the use of
v ehic
l
e lights in each country must be ob-
served.
The driver is personally responsible for the
correct use and adjustment of the lights in all
situations.
In vehicles with tow hitch fitted as standard:
if the trailer is connected electrically and is
fitted with a rear fog light, the vehicle’s fog
light is automatically switched off.
Audible warnings to advise the driver that
the lights have not been switched off
If the key is not in the ignition and the driver
door is open, an audible warning signal is
heard in the following cases: this is a remind-
er to turn off the lights.
● When the parking light is on ›››
page 129.
● When the light switch is in position .WARNING
The side lights or daytime driving lights are
not bright enough t

o illuminate the road
ahead and to ensure that other road users are
able to see you.
● Always use your dipped beam head lights if
it is
raining or if visibility is poor. WARNING
If the headlights are set too high and the
main be am i

s not used correctly, there is a
risk of dazzling or distracting other road
users. This could result in a serious accident.
● Always make sure that the headlights are
correctly
adjusted.

Operation
When the light switch is in position 
, a
phot o sen
sor automatically turns the instru-
ment and switch lighting on and off.
Automatic dipped beam control 
The automatic dipped beam control is merely
intended as an aid and is not able to recog-
nise all driving situations.
When the light switch is in position  , the
vehicle lights and the instrument panel and
switch lighting switch on and off automatical-
ly in the following situations ››› :
Automatic switching
onAutomatic switching
off or switch to day-
time running lighting
The photo sensor detects
darkness, for example,
when driving through a
tunnel.When adequate lighting is
detected.
The rain sensor detects
rain and activates the
windscreen wipers.When the windscreen wip-
er has been inactive for a
few minutes.
Adaptive headlights (AFS)
The a
d
aptiv

e headlights only operate when
the dipped beam is on and at speeds of over
10 km/h (6 mph). On bends, the adaptive
headlights automatically improve lighting on
the road ahead.
The adaptive headlights can be switched on
and off from the infotainment system. Static cornering lights
When turning s

lowly to change direction or
going round a tight bend, the static cornering
lights automatically come on. The static cor-
nering lights only work at speeds of less than
40 km/h (25 mph).
The static cornering lights may be incorpora-
ted into the fog lights or the front headlights,
depending upon the equipment. WARNING
If the road is not well lit and other road users
cannot see the

vehicle well enough or at all,
accidents may occur.
● The automatic dipped beam control ( )
only sw
itches on the dipped beam when
there are no changes in brightness, and not,
for example when it is foggy.
● Never drive with daytime lights if the road
is not
well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
● The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driv
ing light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, if it is rain-
ing or in conditions of poor visibility. Headlight adjustment
Headlight adjustment (Light Assist)
The hea

ed on the inside of the wind-
screen, above the interior rear vision mirror.
The automatic headlight adjustment auto-
matically switches on the lights depending
on the vehicles travelling in front and in the
opposite direction, and on other environmen-
tal and traffic conditions from an approxi-
mate speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) and turns
them off again at speeds below approximate-
