Practical tips
Te c h n i c a l D a t a
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover (at left-hand end
of the dash panel), fit it onto the blown fuse and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip) with a new fuse of the same ampere rating.
– Carefully fit the fuse cover back on to ensure no water can enter the fuse box.The individual electrical circuits are pr otected by fuses. The fuses are located
behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel and on the left-hand
side of the engine compartment.
The electric windows are protected by circuit breakers. These reset automat-
ically after a few seconds when the overload (caused for example by frozen
windows) has been corrected.
Fuses colour code
WARNING
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could re sult in fire. This could also cause
damage to other parts of the electrical system.
Note

If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical
system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

If you replace a fuse with higher-rating fuse, you could cause damage to
another location in the electrical system.

Always keep some spare fuses in the vehicle. These are available from
SEAT dealers.

Apart from the fuses indicated in the following tables, there are others
which must be replaced by a Technical Service.
