Opening and closing
●
Never l e
ave the vehicle unattended or allow
children to play inside or next to it, especially
if the rear lid is open. Children could enter
the luggage compartment, close the rear lid
and become trapped. A locked vehicle can
reach extremely high and low temperatures,
depending on the time of year, thus causing
serious injuries, illness or even death. CAUTION
Before opening or closing the rear lid, make
s ur e th

at there is enough space to open or
close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a ga-
rage. Rear lid automatic locking
Where the vehicle has been locked by press-

function can be activated. Where this func-
tion is activated and once the rear lid has
been unlocked by pressing the  button on
the remote control key ››› page 127, the rear
lid can be re-opened for a certain length of
time.
Where required, the automatic tailgate lock-
ing time extension function can be activated
or deactivated at an Authorised SEAT Service, which will provide all the necessary informa-
tion.
Befor

e the vehicle locks automatically, there
is a risk of intruders getting into the vehicle.
Therefore, we recommend you always lock
the vehicle by pressing the  button on the
remote control or by using the central locking
button. WARNING

ensurin
g it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, e
xhaust gases may penetrate into the
interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!

Operation
●
In co l

headlights, tail lights and turn signals may
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal and
in no way effects the useful life of the vehicle
lighting system. Automatic dipped beam control

*The automatic dipped beam control is merely
intended a

nise all driving situations.

If the road is not well lit and other road users
cannot see the

vehicle well enough or at all,
accidents may occur. ●
The autom atic

dipped beam control ( )
only switches on the dipped beam when
there are no changes in brightness, and not,
for example when it is foggy. Main beam assist*
Main beam assist (Light Assist)
The main be

ssist acts within the limits
of the system and depending on environmen-
tal and traffic conditions. Once switched on,
the system is activated as of a speed of
about 60 km/h (37 mph) and is deactivated
below about 30 km/h (18 mph) ››› .
When the sy s
t

em is activated and the camera
detects other vehicles that may be dazzled,
the main beam is automatically switched off.
Otherwise, the main beam is automatically
switched on.
The main beam assist generally detects illu-
minated areas and deactivates the main
beam when passing through a town, for ex-
ample. Switching the main beam assist on and off

the headlights in time or from turning off al-
together:
● In poorly lit towns with highly reflective
signs.
● Other in

sufficiently lit road users (such as
pedestri
ans or cyclists).
● On tight bends and steep slopes (bumps)
and when oncoming
vehicles are partially ob-
scured.
