Advice
Identifying a blown fuse
A fuse is blown if its metal strip is ruptured
›››
Fig. 209.
Point a lamp at the fuse. This will make it
easier to see if the fuse is blown.
To replace a fuse
● If necessary, remove the plastic pincers
from the fuse box cover.
● For small fuses, insert the pincers from
›››
above Fig. 210 A.
● For larger fuses, insert the pincers from one
›››
side of the fuse Fig. 210 B.
● Remove the relevant fuse.
Replace the blown fuse by one with an
●
identical amperage rating (same colour and
›››
markings) and identical size
● Replace the cover.
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 required if other vehicle
components must be removed or if the dis-
charge lamps 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
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 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 clearly visible to other drivers, there is a
risk of accident.
