Opening and closing
In case of difficulty or obstruction, automatic
opening of the rear lid is interrupted.
Electronically opening the rear lid does not
work when a trailer is electrically connected
and hitched to a factory fitted tow hitch
››› page 179 .
The r e
ar lid can be opened manually by ap-
plying more force.
Closing the rear lid
● Press and hold the button on the vehi-
cle key for approximately 1 second.
● OR: press and hold the button on the
centre console for approximately 1 second
››› Fig. 52 .
● OR: press the ›
›› Fig. 53
boot hatch button
(arro
w).
● Press the button on the open rear lid
››› Fig. 55
›
›› .
● Manually push the rear lid down to close it.
The rear lid will move down to the closed po-
sition to close and lock itself automatically
using the power-close feature ››› .
In case of difficulty or obstruction, automatic
closing of the rear lid is interrupted and it will
open slightly.
Check why the rear lid could not close.
Attempt to close it once more. Interrupting the opening and closing process
Rear lid opening and closing can be stopped
by pressing one of the
buttons. Each time
one of the buttons is pressed, the rear lid
moves to its initial position.
Then, it can be opened or closed by hand. To
do this, apply a little more force.
Memorising the opening angle
The rear lid must be at least half open to
memorise an opening angle.
● Stop automatic opening in the opening po-
sition required ››› page 69 .
● Ho l
d down the button ››› Fig. 55
with the
rear lid open for at least three seconds. The
opening angle is memorised.
Memorisation is confirmed by blinking of the
hazard warning lights and an audible warn-
ing.
To fully open the boot hatch again, the open-
ing angle must be memorised once more.
● Release the rear lid and open it to the
memorised height.
● Push the rear lid all the way up. To do this,
apply a little more force.
● Hold down the button ››› Fig. 55
with the
rear lid open for at least three seconds.
● The opening angle is reset to the original
factory setting. WARNING
Unsuitable or careless closing and locking of
the rear lid could cause serious injuries.
● Never allow children to play inside or
around the vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low
temperatures, depending on the time of year,
resulting in serious injuries/illness or even
death. WARNING
It is possible that the rear lid does not open
completely or, if it is open, closes alone if a
large amount of snow has built up on it or if a
luggage rack is fitted. In this case, the rear lid
must be supported. CAUTION
● When using a trailer, ensure that there is
sufficient space to open and close the rear
lid.
● Before opening the rear lid, any kind of
equipment carrier should be removed, for ex-
ample a bicycle carrier. CAUTION
In case of repeated short-term use, the sys-
tem is turned off to avoid overheating. » 69

The adaptive headlights only operate when
the dipped beam is on and at speeds of over
10 km/h (6 mph). On bends, the adaptive
headlights automatically improve lighting on
the road ahead.
The adaptive headlights can be switched on
and off from the infotainment system.
Static turning lights
When turning slowly to change direction or
going round a tight bend, the static cornering
lights automatically come on. The static cor-
nering lights only work at speeds of less than
40 km/h (25 mph).
The static cornering lights may be incorpora-
ted into the fog lights or the front headlights,
depending upon the equipment.
WARNING
If the road is not well lit and other road users
cannot see the vehicle well enough or at all,
accidents may occur. ●
The automatic dipped beam control ( )
only switches on the dipped beam when
there are no changes in brightness, and not,
for example when it is foggy.
● Never drive with daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
● The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driving light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, if it is rain-
ing or in conditions of poor visibility. Headlight adjustment

adjusting headlights
In those countries where vehicles drive on
the other side of the road to the home coun-
try, the asymmetric dipped beam may dazzle
drivers of oncoming vehicles. Therefore,
when driving abroad, adhesive strips should
be attached to the headlights or the head-
lights should be adjusted accordingly.
The direction of the headlights can be adjus-
ted from the instrument panel, in the
Tourist

F or tho
se vehicles in which it is not possible
to adjust the headlights from the menu, ad-
hesive strips are used to cover certain parts
of the headlamp cover or the headlights may
be adjusted at a specialised workshop. For
further information, please refer to a special-
ised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
technical service. Note
Use of the Tourist light option and the adhe-
sives on the headlights is only allowed if they
are to be used for a short period of time. To

Introduction WARNING
Water from the windscreen washer water bot-
tle may freeze on the windscreen if it does
not contain enough anti-freeze, reducing for-
ward visibility.
● In winter, ensure the windscreen washer
contains enough anti-freeze.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the ventilation system.
The antifreeze could freeze on the windscreen
and reduce visibility. WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility
and increase the risk of accident and serious
injury.
● Always replace damaged or worn blades or
blades which do not clean the windscreen
correctly. CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the glass before us-
ing the wipers for the first time. In cold

The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it
does not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
The heated windscreen washer jets automati-

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. Windscreen wipers service position
