2016 Seat Toledo light

Operation
Note
● The park in
g lights  can only be activated
with the ignition disconnected.
● The parking light will not come on automat-
ical
ly after switching off the ignition if the
left- or right-hand turn signal is left on. Adjusting the headlights
The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: 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 of the halogen and full-
LED headlights of the SEAT Toledo allows the
specific “tourist light” values to be met with-
out 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. Interior lights

Operation
Note
Do not put stickers on the windscreen in front
of the r
ain sensor*. This may cause sensor
disruption or faults. Headlight washers*
The headlight washers operate briefly if the
dipped he
a

dlights or headlights are on and
the lever is moved to position 5
››› Fig. 140 .
The he

adlight washer system also operates
every 10 windscreen wash cycles.
Clean off stubborn dirt (insects, etc.) from the
headlights at regular intervals, for instance
when filling the fuel tank. Please observe the
following indications ›››
page 196, Head-
lights.
To ensure the system works properly in win-
ter, keep the nozzle holders free of snow and
remove any ice with a de-icer spray. CAUTION
Never pull on the nozzle holders. Risk of
dam ag

 page 13
Before beginning any journey, adjust the rear
view mirrors for a good rear visibility. WARNING
● Con v

ex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors give
a larger field of vision. However, they make
objects appear smaller and further away than
they really are. For this reason, you should
not rely on these rear vision mirrors for judg-
ing the distance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mir-
ror to e
stimate distances to vehicles behind
you. Note
● Exterior mirr or

s are only heated when the
engine is running.
● Do not touch the exterior mirrors when the
heating sy
stem is running.
● If the electrical adjustment should ever fail
to operat
e, the rear vision mirrors can be ad-
justed by hand by pressing the edge of the
mirror glass.
● Visit the technical service in the event of a
fault
in the electrical rear vision mirror ad-
justment system. 126

Set the driver seat in such a way that the
pedals can be fully depressed with your legs
slightly bent.
Set the driver seat backrest so that you can
reach the upper point of the steering wheel
with your arms slightly bent.
The correct seat position is very important
for:
● reaching all of the controls safely and
quick ly

,
● a relaxed posture that will not produce fati-
gue,
● maximum protection from the seat belts
and airbag sys
tem WARNING
● Adjus t

the driver seat only when the vehi-
cle is stationary. Risk of accident!
● Be careful when adjusting the front seats!
Carel
ess and uncontrolled adjustment can
cause injuries. ●
The bac k

rests must not be reclined too far
back while driving. This could limit the effect
of the seat belts and the airbag system. Risk
of injury!
● Never transport more than the permitted
amount of
people in your vehicle.
● Every occupant in the vehicle must properly
fas
ten and wear the seat belt belonging to
his or her seat. Children must be protected
with an appropriate child restraint system
››› page 72, Transporting children safely.
● The front seats, head restraints and seat
belts mu
st always be adjusted to the size of
the vehicle occupant to provide you and your
passengers with the greatest possible protec-
tion.
● Your feet should remain in the footwell
while the
vehicle is moving; never rest them
on the dash panel, on the window or on the
seat! This also applies to passengers. An in-
correct sitting position exposes you to an in-
creased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position!
● It is important for the driver and front pas-
senger t
o keep a distance of at least 25 cm
from the steering wheel and dash panel. Fail-
ure to respect the minimum distance means
that the airbag will not protect you. Risk of
fatal injury if triggered!
● Objects must not be placed in the footwell,
as they
could move to the area of the pedals
in the event of a braking manoeuvre or
change of direction. This would prevent the clutch, brake or accelerator from being press-
ed.
●
Do not place any items on the front passen-
ger se at

other than those allowed (e.g. child
seat). Risk of accident! Note
After a certain time, the backrest angle ad-
ju stment

mechanism may gain a certain
amount of play. 127
