Operation
Note
● If the c on
venience turn signals are operat-
ing (three flashes) and the other convenience
turn signals are switched on, the active part
stops flashing and only flashes once in the
new part selected.
● The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is sw
itched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off ››› page 83.
● If a turn signal on the vehicle or trailer is
faulty
, the warning lamp flashes twice as fast
as usual.
● The main beam headligh
ts can only be
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on. Lights and visibility: functions
Parking light

When the p ark
in

g light is switched on, (right
or left turn signal), the front side light and
the rear light on the corresponding side of
the vehicle stay lit. The parking lights will on-
ly work with the ignition off.
Daytime running lights
The daytime running lights reduce the risk of
accidents by increasing the visibility of the
vehicle. These are independent lights that
are built into the headlights and come on each time the ignition is turned on if the light
switc

h is in position  or 0.
When the light switch is in position , a
photo sensor automatically turns the instru-
ment and switch lighting on and off.
Automatic dipped beam control 
The automatic dipped beam control is merely
intended as an aid and is not able to recog-
nise all driving situations.
When the light switch is in position , the
vehicle lights and the instrument panel and
switch lighting switch on and off automatical-
ly in the following situations ››› :
Automatic switching
onAutomatic switching
off or switch to day-
time running lighting
The photo sensor detects
darkness, for example,
when driving through a
tunnel.When adequate lighting is
detected.
The rain sensor detects
rain and activates the
windscreen wipers.When the windscreen wip-
er has been inactive for a
few minutes.
Adaptive headlights (AFS)
The a
d
aptiv

e 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 inf

otainment system.
Static cornering 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 sw
itches 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 driv
ing 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. 132

The automatic headlight adjustment auto-
matically switches on the lights depending
on the vehicles travelling in front and in the
opposite direction, and on other environmen-
tal and traffic conditions from an approxi-
mate speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) and turns
them off again at speeds below approximate-

Switching on and off
Action
Switching
on:
– With the ignition on, turn the lights
control to the position  and put the
turn signal and main beam lever in the
main beam position ››› page 131. When
the headlight adjustment (automatic
lights also) is activated, the warning
lamp lights up in the dash panel display
.
Switching
off:
– Disconnect the on button.
– OR: turn the lights control to a differ-
ent position to
 ››› page 131.
–OR: place the turn signal and main
beam lever in the headlight flasher or
main beam position ››› page 131. The following conditions can cause the head-
light a
dju

stment to fail to turn off the main
beam or fail to do so in time:
● On roads with insufficient lighting with very
reflectiv
e signs
● If road users are insufficiently lit up, e.g.
pedes tri

ans or cyclists.
● On closed curves, when the traffic in the
oppos
ite direction is partially hidden, on pro-
nounced slopes
● On roads with traffic in the opposite direc-
tion and with a centr
al reservation barrier
where the driver can see through gaps or
over it e.g. lorry drivers.
● If the camera is damaged or if the power
supp
ly has been cut off
● In the event of fog, snow or heavy rain
● In the event of dust or sand storms
● If the windscreen is damaged by the impact
from a st
one in the camera's field of vision
● If the camera's field of vision is misted up,
dirty or c
overed by a sticker, snow or ice. WARNING
The greater comfort that the headlight ad-
jus tment

provides (automatic also) must not
cause you to take risks. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
● Always monitor the lights yourself and ad-
just
them depending on the light, visibility
and traffic conditions.
● The headlight adjustment (automatic also)
may
not correctly detect all situations and in
certain situations may only provide limited
function.
● If the windscreen is damaged or modifica-
tions ar
e made to the vehicle lighting, this
may harm the functioning of the headlight
adjustment (automatic lights also), for exam-
ple, if additional headlight are fitted. Note
Main beam and flashed headlights can be
turned on and off m

anually at any time with
the turn signal and main beam lever

Lights and visibility
Allow the engine to cool and check if a
s pec
i
alist is required.
If the hazard warning lights are not working,
you must use an alternative method of draw-
ing attention to your vehicle. This method
must comply with traffic legislation. WARNING
A faulty vehicle in traffic represents a risk of
acc ident

for the driver and for other road
users.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park the
vehicle a safe distance from sur-
rounding traffic to lock all the doors in case of
an emergency. Turn on the hazard warning
lights to warn other road users.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the v
ehicle if the doors are to be
locked. In case of an emergency, passengers
will be trapped inside the vehicle. Individuals
locked in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures. WARNING
The components of the exhaust system reach
ver y

high temperatures. This could cause a
fire and considerable damage.
● Always park your vehicle so that no part of
the exhau
st system can come in contact with
flammable materials (such as dried grass or
fuel). 9.
Note
● The v ehic

le battery will discharge and run
down if the hazard warning lights remain on
for too long (even with the ignition turned
off).
● In some vehicles, the brake lights will flash
when brakin
g abruptly at speeds of approxi-
mately 80 km/h (50 mph) to warn vehicles
travelling behind. If braking continues, the
hazard warning lights system will automati-
cally be turned on at a speed of less than ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph). The brake
lights remain lit. Upon accelerating, the haz-
ard warning lights will be automatically
turned off. Adhesive strips for headlights or ad-
ju
s
tin

g headlights In those countries where vehicles drive on
the other s
ide of
the r

oad 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 Tou-
rist light submenu of the Configura-
tion menu ›››
 page 31.
For those 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 hea

dlamp 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 s

ives on the headlights is only allowed if
they are to be used for a short period of time.
To modify the direction of the headlights per-
manently, please take the vehicle to a speci-
alised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
