Changing bulbs
Introduction
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical 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 re-
moval.
If you choose to change the engine compart-
ment lamps yourself, remember that it is a
›››
dangerous area
.
Always use identical bulbs with the same
designation. The name can be found on the
base of the bulb holder.
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
Take particular care when working on
●
components in the engine compartment if
the engine is warm. Risk of burns.
The bulbs H4, HB4 and H7 are pressurised
●
and might explode on changing them.
Only replace the bulbs concerned when
●
they have cooled.
Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
●
glass can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
