Get Fuses and bulbs Guide for Seat Ibiza SUV Fourth Generation (2009-2017)

Fuses and bulbs

WARNING

Note

Fuses and bulbs

●

The high voltages in the electrical system can

give serious electrical shocks, causing burns

and even death!

One component may have more than one

fuse.

Fuses

●

Several components may run on a single

fuse.

●

Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-

tion system.

Introduction

●

Due to the constant updating of vehicles,

fuse assignments based on equipment and

the use of the same fuse for various electrical

components, it is not possible to provide an

up-to-date summary of the fuse positions for

the electrical components at the time this

manual was printed. For detailed information

about the fuse positions, please consult a

technical service.

Take care not to cause short circuits in the

electrical system.

Vehicle fuses

Read the additional information carefully

WARNING

›››

page 25



Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or

bridging a current circuit without fuses can

cause a fire and serious injury.

Only replace fuses with a fuse of the same

amperage (same colour and markings) and

size.

»

●

Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only

replace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-

age (same colour and markings) and size.

In general, a fuse can be assigned to various

electrical components. Likewise, an electrical

component can be protected by several

fuses.

●

Never repair a fuse.

●

Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple

or similar.

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 special-

ised workshop as soon as possible.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the vehicle's electric

system, before replacing a fuse always turn

off the ignition, the lights and all electrical

elements and remove the key from the igni-

tion.

●

Additional information and warnings:

●

Working in the engine compartment

››› page 166.

●

If you replace a fuse with higher-rating

fuse, you could cause damage to another part

of the electrical system.

●

Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-

vent the entry of dust or humidity as they can

damage the electrical system.

Before changing any bulb, first turn off the

failed device.

Preparation

CAUTION

●

Switch off the ignition, lights and all elec-

trical equipment.

Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with

your bare hands. The fingerprints left on the

glass will vaporise as a result of the heat gen-

erated by the bulb, reducing bulb life and

causing condensation on the reflector sur-

face, thus reducing effectiveness.

●

Always carefully remove the fuse box cov-

ers and refit them correctly to avoid problems

with your vehicle.

●

Open the corresponding fuse box

●

››› page 195.

Protect the fuse boxes when open to avoid

the entry of dust or humidity. Dirt and humid-

ity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to

the electrical system.

Identifying a blown fuse

A bulb must only be replaced by one of the

same type. The type is indicated on the bulb,

either on the glass part or on the base.

A fuse is blown if its metal strip is ruptured

››› Fig. 173.

Point a lamp at the fuse. This will make it

easier to see if the fuse is blown.

Below, the light source used for all functions

is broken down.

1)

With this type of headlight, the user can replace

the turn signal bulb. Replacement of the dip-

ped/main beam bulb must be done by Technical

Services, given that complex elements must be re-

moved from the vehicle and the automatic control

system that incorporates it must be reset.

2)

The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the light flux

and have an average lifespan of 5 times more than

that of halogen bulbs, this means that, except due to

unusual circumstances, there is no need to change

the bulbs for the whole life of the vehicle.

3)

In the event that there is a fault in the LEDs, the

complete headlight must be replaced.

Please check at regular intervals that all

lighting (especially the exterior lighting) on

your vehicle is functioning properly. This is

not only in the interest of your own safety,

but also that of all other road users.

●

Before changing a bulb, make sure you

have the correct new bulb.

●

Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with

your bare hands, use a cloth or paper towel

instead. The residue left by the fingerprints

would vaporise as a result of the heat gener-

ated by the bulb, they will be deposited on

the reflector and will impair its surface.
