2020 Seat Leon interior

Lights
With the ignition on and without light activa-
tion, the anal ogue instrument panel lighting
r
emains activated in daytime light conditions.
The lighting is reduced as the exterior light di-
minishes. In some cases, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel without the  function ac-
tive, the instrument panel lighting may even
switch off. The objective of this function is to
provide the driver with a visual indication that
he or she should activate the dipped beam.
If your vehicle is equipped with a digital in-
strument panel (Digital SEAT Cockpit), the
following message will appear Turn on the
lights on the instrument panel.

. On the rear seat, behind the central armrest,
ther
e is a t

ailboard for transporting long items
in the interior, such as skis. To avoid soiling the interior, dirty objects
should be wr

apped (e.g. in a blanket) before
they are inserted through the tailboard.
When the armrest is down, nobody may trav-
el in the centre rear seat.

Air conditioning
the evaporator in the cooling system and
f orm a pool underneath the v
ehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak! Note
After starting the engine, any residual hu-
midit y in the air conditioner coul

d mist over
the windscreen. Switch on the defrost func-
tion as soon as possible to clear the wind-
screen of condensation. Air vents
To ensure proper heating, cooling and venti-
l
ation in the v

ehicle interior, the air vents must
remain open.

Operation
it free of ice and snow (if it is a thin layer) be-
f or
e you start driving.
If the outside temperature is very high, the ve-
hicle interior can be ventilated with the en-
gine off using the auxiliary heater.
The maximum operating period of the park-
ing ventilation is 60 min. WARNING
The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
carbon mono xide

, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death.

Towing bracket device*
This powers, for example, the trailer's interior
lighting. El ectrical de
vices such as a fridge in
a caravan only receive electrical power if the
engine is running (through pin 10).
To avoid overloading the electrical system,
you cannot connect the ground wires of pin
3 , pin 11 or pin 13 to each other.
If the trailer has a 7-contact connector, you
will need to use an adapter cable. In this case
the function corresponding to pin 10 will not
be available.
Tow cable
The tow rope must always be securely fixed
to the towing vehicle and loose enough so
that the vehicle can handle turns smoothly.
However, make sure that the cable does not
rub on the ground while driving.
Trailer tail lights
Always check the trailer's rear lights to ensure
they are working correctly and that they
comply with the relevant safety regulations. If
you connect the trailer to the factory-moun-
ted system, when you turn on the rear fog
lamp, the fog lamp of the towing vehicle will
turn off to turn on the trailer fog lamp.
Include in the anti-theft alarm
The trailer is included in the anti-theft system
if the following conditions are met:
