WARNING
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe syst
em 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
If the ignition is switched off with the wind-
screen wipers activ
e, they complete their
wipe before returning to the rest position.
When switching the ignition back on, the
windscreen wiper will continue to operate
at the same wiping level. Ice, snow and oth-
er obstacles on the windscreen may dam-
age the wiper and the windscreen wiper
mot
or.
●
If necessary, remove snow and ice from
the windscreen wipers before starting your
journey.
●
Carefully lift the frozen windscreen wip-
ers from the glass. SEAT recommends a de-
icer spray for this operation.
●
Do not switch on the windscreen wipers if
the windscreen is dry. Cleaning with the
windscreen wipers while dry can cause
damage.
●
In icy conditions, always check that the
wiper blades are not frozen to the glass be-
fore using the wipers. In cold weather, it
may help to leave the vehicle parked with
the wipers in service position

Note
●
The windscreen and windo
w wipers only
function when the ignition is switched on
and the bonnet or rear lid, respectively, are
closed.
●
The interval wipe speed varies according
to the vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle
is moving, the more often the windscreen is
cleaned.
●
The rear wiper is automatically switched
on when the windscreen wiper is on and the
car is in reverse gear.
