› ›

›  page 25 CAUTION
If the ignition is switched off with the wind-
s c

reen wipers active, they complete their
wipe before returning to the rest position.
When switching the ignition back on, the
windscreen wiper will continue to operate at
the same wiping level. Ice, snow and other
obstacles on the windscreen may damage the
wiper and the windscreen wiper motor.
● If necessary, remove snow and ice from the
wind
screen wipers before starting your jour-
ney.
● Carefully lift the frozen windscreen wipers
from the gl
ass. SEAT recommends a de-icer
spray for this operation.
● Do not switch on the windscreen wipers if
the wind
screen is dry. Cleaning with the windscreen wipers while dry can cause dam-
ag
e.
● In icy

conditions, always check that the
wiper b
lades are not frozen to the glass be-
fore using the wipers. In cold weather, it may
help to leave the vehicle parked with the wip-
ers in service position ›››
 page 60. Note
● The w ind

screen and window wipers only
function when the ignition is switched on and
the bonnet or rear lid, respectively, are
closed.
● The interval wipe speed varies according to
the v
ehicle speed. The faster the vehicle is
moving, the more often the windscreen is
cleaned.
● The rear wiper is automatically switched on
when the wind
screen wiper is on and the car
is in reverse gear. Windscreen wiper functions

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 he
atin

g only thaws the frozen jets, it
does not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
When the ignition is switched on the heated
windscreen washer jets automatically adjust
the heat depending on the ambient tempera-
ture.
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). »

Rear view mirror with automatic anti-dazzle
function*
The anti-dazzle function is activated every
time the ignition is switched on.
When the anti-dazzle function is enabled, the
interior rear vision mirror will darken auto-
matically according to the amount of light it
receives. The anti-dazzle function is cancel-
led if reverse gear is engaged. WARNING
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
r e

ar vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte fluid may leak. This could cause irritation to the
sk
in, ey

es and respiratory organs. If you
come into contact with this liquid, it must be
rinsed with large quantities of water. If neces-
sary, get medial help. CAUTION
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
r e

ar vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte fluid
may leak. This liquid attacks plastic surfaces.
Clean it with a wet sponge as soon as possi-
ble. Note
● If the light

incident in the interior rear vi-
sion mirror is obstructed (e.g. with the sun
blind*), the anti-dazzle rear vision mirror with
automatic setting will not operate perfectly.
● When the interior lights are on or reverse

function for front passenger exterior mir-
ror*
When parking backwards, and in order to be
able to see the kerb, the passenger side mir-
ror can be automatically tilted towards the
passenger to provide a better view of the
kerb. The control must be in the position R1)
for this feature to be operational.
The mirror returns to its original position as
soon as you drive forward at over 15 km/h
(9 mph) or switch off the ignition. It also re-
turns to its original position if the position of
the control is adjusted.

When the vehicle is locked with the remote
control, by pressing for more than approxi-
mately 1 second the exterior mirrors are fol-
ded in automatically. When the vehicle is
opened with the remote control, the exterior
mirrors are deployed automatically. WARNING
Convex or wide-angle* exterior mirrors give a
l ar

ger field of vision. However, they make ob-
jects look smaller and further away than they
really are. If you use these mirrors to esti- mate the distance to vehicles behind you
when c
h

anging lane, you could misjudge the
distance. Risk of accident! CAUTION
● If one of

the mirror housings is knocked out
of position (e.g. when parking), the mirrors
must first be fully retracted with the electric
control. Do not readjust the mirror housing by
hand, as this will interfere with the mirror ad-
juster function.
● Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car w
ash, please make sure to retract the ex-
terior mirrors to prevent them from being
damaged. Electrically retractable exterior
mirrors must not be folded in or out by hand.
Always use the electrical power control. Note
If the electrical adjustment should fail to op-
er at

e, both of the mirrors can be adjusted by
hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mir-
ror glass. 1)

Air recirculation mode Basic pointsAir recirculation:

Manual recirculation
Air recirculation mode prevents the ambient
air fr
om ent

ering the interior.
When the outside temperature is very high,
selecting manual air recirculation mode for a
short period refreshes the vehicle interior
more quickly.
For safety reasons, air recirculation mode is
switched off when the button  is press-
ed or the air distributor turned to .
Switching the manual air recirculation mode
on and off 
To switch system on: press the  button un-
til the warning lamp lights up.
To switch system off: press the  button un-
til the warning lamp goes off.
Functioning mode of automatic air recircula-
tion (air conditioning menu)
With the automatic air recirculation mode ac-
tivated, the entry of fresh air into the cabin
interior is enabled. If the system detects a
high concentration of hazardous substances
in the ambient air, air recirculation mode is
switched on automatically. When the level of impurities drops to within a normal range, re-
c
ir

culation mode is switched off.
The system is unable to detect unpleasant
smells.
The air recirculation will not connect auto-
matically in versions without humidity sensor
and in the following external conditions:
● The outside temperature is lower than +3°C
(+38°F).
● The cooling system is switched off and the
outside t
emperature is below +10°C (+50°F).
● The cooling system is switched off, the out-
side t
emperature is below +15°C (+59°F) and
the windscreen wipers are switched on.
Activation/deactivation of automatic air recir-
culation is done in the air conditioner menu,
under Configuration. WARNING
Observe the safety warnings ››

● If the cooling system is switched off and air
rec
irculation mode switched on, the windows
can mist over very quickly, considerably limit-
ing visibility.
● Switch air recirculation mode off when it is
not r
equired. CAUTION
Do not smoke when air recirculation is
sw it

ched on in vehicles with an air condition-
er. The smoke taken in could lie on the cool-
ing system vaporiser and on the activated
charcoal cartridge of the dust and pollen fil-
ter, leading to a permanently unpleasant
smell. Note
