2015 Seat Leon 5D reset

Operation
Motorway light* The motorway light is available on vehicles
equipped w
ith f
ull-LED lights.
The function is connected/disconnected via
the corresponding Easy Connect system
menu.
● Activation: when going abo
ve 110 km/h for
more than 30 seconds, the dipped beam rai-
ses slightly to increase the distance of visibil-
ity of the driver.
● Deactivation: when reduc in
g the speed of
the car below 100 km/h, the dipped beam re-
turns to its normal position.
Driving abroad The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
a
symmetric: the s
ide 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
ful

l-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 ar e p

lanning 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

Checking and refilling levels
CAUTION
● Do not mi x
cleaning products recommen-
ded by SEAT with other products. This could
lead to flocculation and may block the wind-
screen washer jets.
● When topping up service fluids, make abso-
lutely c
ertain that you fill the fluids into the
correct reservoirs. Using the wrong fluids
could cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage!
● Not having windscreen wiper fluid reduces
vis
ibility through the windscreen, and leads
to loss of visibility in headlights in models
with headlight washer. Battery
