Malfunctions
The following conditions may prevent the main beam headlight control from
turning off the headlights in time or from turning off altogether:
● In poorly lit towns with highly reflective signs.
● Other insufficiently lit road users (such as pedestrians or cyclists).
● On tight bends and steep slopes (bumps) and when oncoming vehicles
are partially obscured.
● When the drivers of other oncoming vehicles (such as a truck) can see
over a guard rail in the centre of the road.
● If the camera is damaged or the power supply is cut off.
● In fog, snow and heavy rain.
● With dust and sand turbulence.
● With loose gravel in the field of vision of the camera.
● When the field of vision of the camera is misted up, dirty or covered by
stickers, snow, ice...
WARNING
The convenience features of the main beam assist should not encourage
the taking of risks. The system is not a replacement for driver concentra-
tion.
● You are always in control of the main beam and adapting it to the
light, visibility and traffic conditions.
● It is possible that the main beam headlight control does not recog-
nise all driving situations and is limited under certain circumstances.
● When the field of vision of the camera is dirty, covered or damaged,
operation of the main beam control may be affected. This also applies
when changes are made to the vehicle lighting system, for example, if
additional headlights are installed.
CAUTION
To avoid affecting the operation of the system, take the following points in-
to consideration:
● Clean the field of vision of the camera regularly and make sure it is free
of snow and ice.
● Do not cover the field of vision of the camera.
● Check that the windscreen is not damaged in the area of the field of vi-
sion of the camera.
Note
Main beam and headlight flasher can be turned on and off manually at any
time with the turn signal and main beam lever ⇒ page 110. 
Adjusting the headlights
The light beam of the dipped beam lights is asymmetric: the side of the
road on which you are driving is lit more intensely. 

154Air conditioning
CAUTION
● Switch the air conditioner off if you think it may be broken. This will
avoid additional damage. Have the air conditioner checked by a specialised
workshop.
● Repairs to the air conditioner require specialist knowledge and special
tools. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT Official Service.
Note
● When the cooling system is turned off, air coming from the outside will
not be dried. To prevent fogging of the windows, SEAT recommends leaving
the cooling system (compressor) turned on. To do this, press the button 
.
The button lamp should light up.
● The maximum heat output required to defrost windows as quickly as
possible is only available when the engine has reached its normal running
temperature.
● Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen free of snow, ice and
leaves to ensure heating and cooling are not impaired, and to prevent the
windows from misting over. Air conditioner controls

Full-LED headlight system*
Full-LED headlights handle all light functions (daylight, side light, turn sig-
nal, dipped beam and route light) with light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a
light source.
Full-LED headlights are designed to last the lifetime of the car and light
bulbs cannot be replaced. In case of headlight failure, go to an authorised
workshop to have it replaced.

WARNING
● Take particular care when working on components in the engine com-
partment if the engine is warm. Risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not to injure yourself on sharp
edges, in particular on the headlight housing.
CAUTION
● Remove the ignition key before working on the electric system. Other-
wise, a short circuit could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights before you change 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 prop-
er manner.
Note
● Please check at regular intervals that all lighting (especially the exterior
lighting) on your vehicle is functioning properly. This is not only in the inter-
est 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. Otherwise, the fingerprints left on the glass will va-
porise as a result of the heat generated by the bulb, they will be deposited
on the reflector and will impair its surface. 
