Driving abroad

The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: the side of the road on which
you are driving is lit more intensely.

125

Operation

When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is nor-
mally necessary to cover part of the head-
light bulbs with stickers or to change the ad-
justment of the headlights to avoid dazzling
other drivers.

In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution. This
is known as “Tourist light”.

The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED headlights allows the specific “tourist
light” values to be met without the need for
stickers or changes in the settings.

Note

“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you are planning a long stay in a country
that drives on the other side, you should
take the vehicle to an Authorised Technical
Service to change the headlights.

Introduction

The windscreen wipers and windscreen
washers only work when the ignition is
switched on.

The speed of the automatic wipe in case of
rain is automatically adjusted according to
the intensity of the rainfall.

The rear window is wiped once if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on and reverse
gear is engaged.

Fill the windscreen washer fluid

›››

page 251

WARNING

●

Make sure the blades

›››



page 56

are

in perfect condition for good visibility and
safe driving.

●

In cold conditions, you should not use the

wash/wipe system unless you have
warmed the windscreen with the heating
and ventilation system. The windscreen
washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the
windscreen and obscure your view of the
road.

CAUTION

●

During winter, always check that the

windscreen wiper blades are not frozen to
the glass before each trip or before switch-
ing on the ignition. If you switch on the
windscreen wipers when the wiper blades

128

Lights and visibility

are frozen to the glass, this could damage
both the wiper blades and the wiper motor.

●

If the ignition is switched off when the

windscreen wipers are on, they will start
operating in the same mode when the igni-
tion is switched back on. The wiper blades
may be frozen to the glass at low tempera-
tures when the ignition is switched off.

●

Carefully separate the frozen wipers

from the windscreen or rear window.

●

Remove snow and ice from the wipers be-

fore starting your journey.

●

Careless handling could lead to the wip-

er arms damaging the windscreen.

●

For safety reasons, the wiper blades

should be changed once or twice a year.
They can be purchased at a SEAT Author-
ised Service.

●

The ignition cannot be switched on while

the windscreen wiper arms are in a raised
position. Otherwise, the windscreen wipers
would return to their original position and
could damage the paintwork on the bon-
net.

Note

Keep the wipers clean. The wipers can be
soiled with remains of wax solutions from
car washes

On vehicles equipped with windscreen

washer jets, these are heated once the en-
gine is running.

Exterior mirrors

Read the additional information carefully

›››



page 15

Before beginning any journey, adjust the rear
view mirrors for a good rear visibility.

WARNING

●

Convex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors

give a larger field of vision. However, they
make objects appear smaller and further

away than they really are. For this reason,
you should not rely on these rear vision mir-
rors for judging the distance of vehicle be-
hind.

●

If possible, use the interior rear vision mir-

ror to estimate distances to vehicles behind
you.

Note

●

Exterior mirrors are only heated when the

engine is running.

●

Do not touch the exterior mirrors when

the heating system is running.

●

If the electrical adjustment should ever

fail to operate, the rear vision mirrors can
be adjusted by hand by pressing the edge
of the mirror glass.

●

Visit the technical service in the event of

a fault in the electrical rear vision mirror
adjustment system.

page 14

Set the driver seat in such a way that the
pedals can be fully depressed with your legs
slightly bent.

Set the driver seat backrest so that you can
reach the upper point of the steering wheel
with your arms slightly bent.

The correct seat position is very important
for:

●

reaching all of the controls safely and

quickly,

●

a relaxed posture that will not produce fati-

gue,

●

maximum protection from the seat belts

and airbag system

WARNING

●

Adjust the driver seat only when the vehi-

cle is stationary. Risk of accident!

●

Be careful when adjusting the front seats!

Careless and uncontrolled adjustment can
cause injuries.

●

The backrests must not be reclined too

far back while driving. This could limit the
effect of the seat belts and the airbag sys-
tem. Risk of injury!

●

Never transport more than the permitted

amount of people in your vehicle.

●

Every occupant in the vehicle must prop-

erly fasten and wear the seat belt belong-
ing to his or her seat. Children must be pro-
tected with an appropriate child restraint
system

›››

page 75, Transporting children

safely

●

The front seats, head restraints and seat

belts must always be adjusted to the size of
the vehicle occupant to provide you and
your passengers with the greatest possible
protection.

●

Your feet should remain in the footwell

while the vehicle is moving; never rest them
on the dash panel, on the window or on the
seat! This also applies to passengers. An
incorrect sitting position exposes you to an
increased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position!

●

It is important for the driver and front

passenger to keep a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel and dash
panel. Failure to respect the minimum dis-

tance means that the airbag will not pro-
tect you. Risk of fatal injury if triggered!

●

Objects must not be placed in the foot-

well, as they could move to the area of the
pedals in the event of a braking manoeuvre
or change of direction. This would prevent
the clutch, brake or accelerator from being
pressed.

●

Do not place any items on the front pas-

senger seat other than those allowed (e.g.
child seat). Risk of accident!

Note

After a certain time, the backrest angle ad-
justment mechanism may gain a certain
amount of play.

your passenger is limited, e.g. due to medi-
cation, paralysis or chronic illness (e.g. dia-
betes). It could cause burns on the back,
buttocks and legs that are difficult to heal.
If you still want to use the heated seat, take
frequent breaks on long journeys so that
the body can recover from the trip. Ask your
doctor about your particular situation.

CAUTION

●

To avoid damaging the heating elements,

do not kneel on the seat or apply sharp
pressure at a single point to the seat cush-
ion or backrest.
