With the ignition on and without light activa-
tion, the anal ogue instrument panel lighting

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.

strument panel (Digital SEAT Cockpit), the
following message will appear Turn on the

Operation
USB power sockets
Depending on the equipment and the coun-
try, the v ehicl
e may also have USB connec-
tions exclusively for charging or as a power
socket.
These USB ports are located at the rear of
the console, between the front seats . These
connectors can work at a maximum power of
up to 10.5 W per port.
They are not intended for file playback.
230 volt power socket*
With the engine running, the power socket
››› Fig. 148 activates automatically as soon
as a connector is plugged in. If there is
enough power available, the socket can still
be used while the engine is off ››› Connect an electrical device: Open the co
v-
er and insert the plug int
o the power socket
as far as possible to unlock the built-in child
lock. The socket only supplies power once
the child lock is unlocked. LED on the power socket
Steady green
light: The childproof lock is unlocked.
The sock
et is r

eady to operate. LED on the power socket
Flashing green
light: The ignition is switched off, but
ther
e is enough po

wer available
to continue supplying the socket
with current for a maximum of 10
minutes. If the connector is un-
plugged before this time elap-
ses, the socket is disconnected
and cannot be used again until
the ignition is switched on again.
Flashing red
light: There is an anomaly, e.g. dis-
connection due t
o a curr

ent
surge or overheating. Disconnection due to overheating
When the t
emper

ature exceeds a certain val-
ue, the 230 volt socket inverter is automati-
cally disconnected. The disconnection pre-
vents overheating when the power consump-
tion of the connected devices is excessive or
the ambient temperature is very high. The
230-volt power supply can be used once
again after a cooling time. First unplug the
connector of the connected device and then
plug it back in again. This prevents the elec-
trical device from being switched on again if
this is not wanted. WARNING
The electrical system is under high voltage!
