››› Fig. 55. If you are sitting closer than
25 c m, the airb
ag system cannot protect you
properly.
● If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintaining the minimum distance of 25
cm, contact a specialised workshop. The
workshop will help you decide if special spe-
cific modifications are necessary.
● When driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
This reduces the risk of injury when the driver
airbag is triggered.
● Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or in any other manner (e.g.
in the centre of the steering wheel). In such
cases, if the airbag is triggered, you may sus-
tain injuries to the arms, hands and head.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the driver
during sudden braking manoeuvres or an ac-
cident, never drive with the backrest tilted far
back! The airbag system and seat belts can
only provide optimal protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
driver is wearing his or her seat belt correct-
ly.
● Adjust the head restraint properly to ach-
ieve optimal protection. Adjusting the steering wheel position

● Never adjust the position of the steering
wheel when the vehicle is moving, as this
could cause an accident.
● Move the lever up firmly so the steering
wheel position does not accidentally change
during driving. risk of accident!
● Make sure you are capable of reaching and
firmly holding the upper part of the steering
wheel: risk of accident!
● If you adjust the steering wheel so that it
points towards your face, the driver airbag
will not protect you properly in the event of
an accident. Make sure that the steering
wheel points towards your chest. Correct sitting position for front
passenger
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accident, we recom-
mend the following adjustments for the front
passenger:
– Move the front passenger seat back as far
as possible ››› .–
Move the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that your back rests completely
against it.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is at the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› page 41.
– Always keep both feet in the footwell in
front of the front passenger seat.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ››› page 43.
It is possible to deactivate the front passen-
ger airbag in exceptional circumstances

● An incorrect sitting position of the front
passenger can lead to severe injuries.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
there is at least 25 cm between your chest
and the dash panel. If you are sitting closer
than 25 cm, the airbag system cannot protect
you properly.
● If your physical constitution prevents you

Operation
Service interval display Service interval display The service interval indication appears on the
instrument panel display
››› Fig. 82 4 .
SEAT distinguishes between services with en-
gine oi l
change (e.g. Oil change service) and
services without
engine oil change (e.g. In-
spection).
In vehicles with Services established by time
or mileage, the service intervals are already
pr e-defined.
In

vehicles with LongLife Service , the inter-
vals are determined individually. Technical
progress has made it possible to considera-
bly reduce servicing requirements. The tech-
nology used by SEAT ensures that your vehi-
cle only has an Oil Servicing when it is neces-
sary. To establish when the oil servicing is
due (max. 2 years), the vehicle's conditions
of use and individual driving styles are con-
sidered. The service pre-warning first ap-
pears 20 days before the date established for
the corresponding service. The kilometres
(miles) remaining until the next service are
always rounded up to the nearest 100 km
(miles) and the time is given in complete
days. The current service message cannot be
viewed until 500 km after the last service. Pri-
or to this only lines are visible on the display. Inspection reminder
When the Service date is approaching, when
the ignition is switched on a
Service remind-
er is displayed.
In vehicles without text messages , a s
panner
is displayed on the instrument panel  with
a figure giv
en in km. The number of kilome-
tres shown is the maximum number that may
be driven until the next service. After a few
seconds, the display mode changes. A clock
symbol appears and the number of days until
the next service appointment is due.
In vehicles with text messages , Serv
ice in ---
km (miles) or --- days is displayed on the in- strument panel.
Service due
After the service date, an audible warning is
given when the ignition i
s switched on and
the spanner displayed on the screen flashes
for a few seconds . In
vehicles with text
messages, Service in --- km or --- days is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Reading a service notification
With the ignition switched on, the engine off
and the vehicle at a standstill, the current
service notification
can be read:
Press and hold the button ››› Fig. 82 4 for
more than 5 seconds to consult the service
message. When the service date has past
, a minus sign
is displayed in front of the number of kilome-
tres or days. In vehicles with text messages
the following is displayed: Service --- km
(miles) or --- days ago .
The time can also be set via the  key and
Setup function button in the Easy Connect
system ››› page 81 .
R e

setting service interval display
If the service was not carried out by a SEAT
dealership, the display can be reset as fol-
lows:
● To reset the service interval display, turn
the ignition off and press and hold the but-
ton ››› Fig. 82 4 .
● Switch the ignition back on.
● Release the button ››› Fig. 82 4 and press
the button 4 again for the next 20 seconds.
Note
● The service message disappears after a few
seconds, when the engine is started or when OK/RESET is pressed on the windscreen wiper
lever, or OK on the multifunction steering
wheel.
● In vehicles with the LongLife system in
which the battery has been disconnected for
a long period of time, it is not possible to cal-
culate the date of the next service. Therefore
the service interval display may not be cor- rect. In this case, bear in mind the maximum 80

Operation
Motorway lights* The motorway light is available on vehicles
equipped with full-LED lights.
The function is connected/disconnected via
the corresponding Easy Connect system
menu.
●
Activation: when going above 110 km/h for
mor e th
an 30 seconds, the dipped beam rai-
ses slightly to increase the distance of visibil-
ity of the driver.
● Deactivation: when reducing the speed of
the c ar belo

w 100 km/h, the dipped beam re-
turns to its normal position.
Driving abroad The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: the side of the road on which
you are driving is lit more intensely.
When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is nor-
mally necessary to cover part of the headlight
bulbs with stickers or to change the adjust-
ment of the headlights to avoid dazzling oth-
er drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for designated points of the light distribution.
This is known as “Tourist light”.
The light distribution that the halogen and
full-LED headlights of the SEAT Leon range
have allows the specific “tourist light” values
to be met without the need for stickers or
changes in the settings.
Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you are planning a long stay in a country that
drives on the other side, you should take the
vehicle to an Authorised Technical Service to
change the headlights. Headlight range control, lighting of

During automatic
wipe
The air conditioner comes on for
approximately 30 seconds in air
recirculation mode to prevent the
smell of the windscreen washer
fluid entering the inside the vehi-
cle.
For the interval wipe
Intervals between wipes depend
on the vehicle's speed. The high-
er the vehicle speed the shorter
the intervals. Heated windscreen washer jets
The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it
does not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
The heated windscreen washer jets automati-
cally adjust the heat depending on the ambi-
ent temperature, when the ignition is switch-
ed on.
Headlight wash/wipe system
The headlight washers/wipers clean the
headlight lenses.
After the ignition is switched on, the first and
every fifth time the windscreen washer is
switched on, the headlights are also washed. Therefore, the windscreen wiper lever should
be pulled towards the steering wheel when
the dipped beam or main beam are on. Any
incrusted dirt (such as insects) should be
cleaned regularly (e.g. when refuelling).
To ensure the headlight washers work cor-
rectly in winter, any snow which has got into
the bumper jet supports should be cleaned
away. If necessary, remove snow with an anti-
icing spray.
Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obstacles
that are on the windscreen. The wiper will
stop moving if the obstacle blocks its path.
Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper
back on again. Rain sensor*
