xHold down the button Ÿpage 100, fig. 59 with the tailgate open for at
least three seconds.
xThe opening angle is reset to the original factory setting.
WARNING
Unsuitable or careless closing and locking of the tailgate could cause
serious injuries.
xNever allow children to play inside or around the vehicle without super-
vision, especially if the tailgate is open. Children could enter the luggage
compartment, close the tailgate and become trapped. A locked vehicle can
be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on the
time of year, thus causing serious injuries/illness and even death.
WARNING
It is possible that the tailgate does not open completely or, if it is open,
closes alone if a large amount of snow has built up on it or if a luggage rack
is fitted. In this case, the tailgate must be supported.
Caution
xWhen using a trailer, ensure that there is sufficient space to open and
close the tailgate.
xBefore opening the tailgate, any kind of equipment carrier should be
removed, for example a bicycle carrier.
Caution
In case of repeated short-term use, the system is turned off to avoid over-
heating.
xWhen it has cooled, it may be used once again. During this time, the tail-
gate may be manually opened or closed applying a little more effort.
xIf the vehicle battery is disconnected or the fuse blows when the tailgate
is open, the tailgate system must be re-initialised. To do this, close the tail-
gate.
Note
Before closing the tailgate, make sure that the key has not been left inside the
boot.

Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning 184
Switching the Climatronic temperature measuring unit
Press and hold the and buttons to switch the temperature display
between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Heat
The maximum heat output required to defrost windows quickly is only avail-
able when the engine has reached its normal running temperature.
The air conditioning system does not switch on
If the air conditioning system cannot be switched on, this may be caused by
the following:
xThe engine is not running.
xThe fan is switched off.
xThe climate control fuse has blown.
xThe outside temperature is lower than approximately +3 °C (+38 °F).
xThe climate control system compressor has been temporarily switched off
because the engine coolant temperature is too high.
xAnother fault in the vehicle. Have the climate control system checked by
a qualified workshop.
Things to note
If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensation
can drip off the evaporator in the cooling system and form a pool underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak!
Dust and pollen filter
The dust and pollen filter with its activated charcoal cartridge serves as a
barrier against impurities in the ambient air.
For the climate control system to work with maximum efficiency, the dust and
pollen filter must be replaced at the intervals specified in the Maintenance
Programme.If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due to use in areas with very high
levels of air pollution, the filter must be changed more frequently than stated
in the Service Schedule.
Note
The climate control system must left running for a few minutes to reach the
set temperature in the vehicle interior.
Note
After starting it, any residual humidity in the climate control system could
mist over the windscreen.
Note
The air from the vents flows through the passenger compartment and out
through the outlets below the rear window. Do not cover these outlets with
items of clothing or other objects.

Fuses
Introduction
Due to the constant update of vehicles, fuse assignments depending on
equipment and the use of the same fuse for various electrical components, at
the time of printing this manual it is not possible to provide an up-to-date
summary of the electrical components fuse positions. For detailed informa-
tion about the fuse positions, please consult a qualified workshop.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various electrical components. Like-
wise, 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 qualified dealership as soon as possible.
Additional information and warnings:
xWorking in the engine compartment Ÿpage 304
WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can give serious electrical
shocks, causing burns and even death!
xNever touch the electrical wiring of the ignition system.
xTake care not to cause short circuits in the electrical system.
WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or bridging a current circuit without
fuses can cause a fire and serious injury.
xNever use a fuse with a higher value. Only replace fuses with a fuse of
the same amperage (same colour and markings) and size.
xNever repair a fuse.
xNever replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple or similar.
Caution
xTo avoid damage to the vehicles electric system, before replacing a fuse
turn off the ignition, the lights and all electrical elements and remove the
keys from the ignition.
xIf you replace a fuse with higher-rating fuse, you could cause damage to
another part of the electrical system.
xProtect the fuse boxes when open to avoid the entry of dust or humidity.
Dirt and humidity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to the electrical
system.
Note
One single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Note
Several consumers could run over one single fuse.

Changing bulbs
Introduction
Changing bulbs requires a certain amount of manual skill. If you are unsure,
SEAT recommends that you consult an qualified workshop or request assist-
ance from a specialist. In general, a specialist is required if other vehicle
components must be removed or if the discharge lamps must be replaced.
You should store spare light bulbs in the vehicle for safety-relevant lights.
Spare bulbs may be obtained from the Official dealers and workshops. 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 factory may be different to those of conventional bulbs. Bulb informa-
tion is displayed on the bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
Additional information and warnings:
xLights and visibility Ÿpage 113
xWorking in the engine compartment Ÿpage 304
xVehicle tools Ÿpage 353
xFuses Ÿpage 356
WARNING
If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is not clearly visible to other
drivers, there is a risk of accident.
WARNING
Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause serious accidents.
xBefore carrying out any work in the engine compartment please read
and observe the warnings Ÿpage 304. In any vehicle, the engine compart-
ment is a hazardous area and could cause severe injury.
xDischarge lamps work with high-voltage and can cause serious or fatal
injury if handled incorrectly.
xH7 and discharge lamps are highly pressurised and could explode
when being changed.
xOnly replace the bulbs concerned when they have cooled.
xNever replace bulbs alone if you are not familiar with the operations
necessary. If you are not sure about procedures then visit a qualified work-
shop to carry out the necessary work.
xNever touch the bulb glass directly. Fingerprints will be evaporated by
the heat of the operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflector.
xThe headlamp frameworks in the engine compartment and the tail
lamps contain sharp elements. Always protect your hands when changing
bulbs.
Caution
After changing a bulb, if the rubber covers and plastic caps are not replaced
correctly on the headlamp framework, the electrical installation may be
damaged, especially if water is allowed to enter.

Indicator
Several warning and control lamps should light up for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched. This signals that the lamp is working properly. They
will switch off after a few seconds.
Checking the bulbs of a trailer
For vehicles with the factory fitted trailer system, certain trailer lights are also
controlled if the socket is correctly connected.
A fault on a trailer turn indicator is indicated on the instrument panel by the
indicator blinking twice as fast (
 or
) Ÿpage 113.
xGeneral fault of all indicators on one side.
xFault in one tail light (on some models, also the registration light).
xFault in two brake lights.
WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, the vehicle may stall in
traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
xNever ignore the warning lamps or text messages.
xStop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Caution
Failure to heed the warning lamps and text messages when they appear may
result in faults in the vehicle.
Note
A fault in the LED on the tail lights will not be indicated. However, if the fault
affects all the LEDs then this will be indicated by the indicator .
Information for replacing bulbs
Checklist
To replace a bulb, carry out the following operations always in the order given
Ÿ:
1. Park the vehicle a safe distance from traffic and on suitable ground.
2. Connect the electronic parking brake Ÿpage 210.
3. Turn the light switch to position 0 Ÿpage 113.
4. Move the gear lever into the neutral position Ÿpage 113.
5. Automatic gearbox: Move selector lever to position P Ÿpage 201.
6. Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition Ÿpage 195.
7. Manual gearbox: Select a gear Ÿpage 201.
8. Wait until all of the passenger compartment lights are turned off
Ÿpage 113.
9. Allow the corresponding bulb to cool.
10. Visually inspect fuses to see if any are blown Ÿpage 356.
11. Replace the bulb according to the instructions Ÿ. Bulbs should only
be replaced by new identical models. Bulb information is displayed on
the bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
12. In general, never touch the bulb glass directly. The heat of the bulb would
cause the fingerprint to evaporate and condense on the reflector. This
will impair the brightness of the headlight.
