Lights and visibility
Adjusting the headlights In those countries where vehicles drive on the
other side of the road t
o the home country,
the asymmetric dipped beam may dazzl
e
drivers of oncoming vehicles.
For this reason, stickers may be needed to
cover the headlights when driving abroad.
For further information, please refer to a spe-
cialised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting
a technical service. Note
The use of stickers to cover headlights is
only permitted o v
er a short period. To mod-
ify the direction of the headlamps more
permanently, please take the vehicle to a
specialised workshop. SEAT recommends
taking your car in for technical service. Headlight range control, lighting of

Description and operation Your vehicle is fitted at the factory with a ser-
ies of electr
onic contr
ol units responsible for
the engine and gearbox management. In ad-
dition, the control units supervise the per-
formance of the exhaust gas system and the
airbag systems.
Therefore, while the vehicle is being driven,
these electronic control units are continuous-
ly analysing the vehicle data. In the event of
faults or deviations from the theoretical val-
ues, only this data is stored. Normally, the
warning lamps on the instrument panel light
up in the event of faults.
This data can only be read and analysed us-
ing special equipment.
The storing of the data allows specialised
workshops to detect and repair faults. Stored
data may include:
