Changing bulbs
Introduction
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
pr
actical 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

.
Al
ways 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

WARNING
●
T
ake particular care when working on
components in the engine compartment if
the engine is warm. Risk of burns.
●
The H4, HB4 and H7 bulbs are pressur-
ised. They may explode when being re-
placed, and there is a danger of injury.
●
Only replace the bulbs concerned when
they have cooled.
●
When changing bulbs, pl
ease take care
not to injure yourself on sharp edges, in
particular on the headlight housing.
●
Never replace bulbs alone if you are not
familiar with the operations necessary. If
you are not sure about procedures then vis-
it a specialised workshop to carry out the
necessary work.
●
Never touch the bulb glass directly. Fin-
gerprints will be evaporated by the heat of
the operating bulb thus “fogging” up the
reflector.
CAUTION
●
If
, after replacing a bulb, the rubber cover
is not correctly positioned in the headlight
housing, water or humidity can enter and
damage the electrical system.
●
Remove the ignition key before working
on the electric system. Otherwise, a short
circuit could occur.
●
Switch off the lights and the parking light
before changing a bulb.
●
Take good care to avoid damaging any
components.
For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to
dispose of used bulbs in the pr
oper manner.
