Changing A Light - Seat Alhambra Owner's Manual

Changing a light

Bulbs, changing
Bulbs should be changed by a professional mechanic only.
Technical knowledge is required to change bulbs. This is because, in certain
cases, access can be gained only by removing other vehicle components.
This applies in particular to bulbs which can be accessed only from the
engine compartment.
We recommend bulbs are changed by a qualified dealership or, if this is not
possible, by a qualified person.
However, if you wish to change the bulb, please observe the following:
Before changing a bulb, you must switch off the light (light switch in O posi-
tion), and the turn signal lever must be in the neutral position.
Always replace damaged bulbs with identical bulbs with the same designa-
tion. The type is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass or on the base.
You should store spare light bulbs in the vehicle for safety-relevant lights.
Bulbs can be obtained from SEAT Service Centres.
WARNING
•
The high voltage element of gas discharge lamps must be handled
correctly. Failure to comply could result in fatal injuries.
•
H7* bulbs are pressurised and could explode when they are being
changed. Risk of injury.
•
In vehicles fitted with gas discharge lamps *, there is a mortal danger if
the high voltage section of the lamp is incorrectly handled.
•
When working in the engine compartment, always observe the safety
warnings ⇒ page 209.
