Operation
●
Carefully lift the fr
ozen 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.
Wiper functions
Windscreen wipers performance in differ-
ent situations
●
If the v
ehicle is stopped, the activated posi-
tion temporarily moves to the previous posi-
tion.
●
The air conditioner comes on for approxi-
mately 30 seconds in air recirculation mode
when the windscreen washer is activated,
to prevent the smell of the windscreen wash-
er fluid entering the inside the vehicle.
●
When wiping at intervals, the intervals vary
according t
o the speed. The higher the vehi-
cle speed the shorter the intervals.
Heated windscreen washer jets*
The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it does
not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
When the ignition is switched on the heated
windscreen washer jets automatically adjust
the heat depending on the ambient tempera-
ture.
Headlight washer system*
The headlight washer cleans the glass of the
headlights and only works when the dipped
beam headlights are on. After switching on
the ignition, the headlights are also washed
when the automatic wiper is activated for the
first time and then every fifth time.
Regularly clean dirt that has become encrus-
ted on the headlights, e.g., remains of insects.
To ensure the headlight washers work cor-
rectly in winter, clean away any snow that
may be present on the jet covers located on
the bumper. If necessary, remove ice with an
anti-ice spray.
Note
●
The wiper will try to wipe aw
ay any ob-
stacles that are on the windscreen. The
wiper will stop moving if the obstacle
blocks its path. Remove the obstacle and
switch the wiper back on again.
●
If you stop the vehicle with the wind-
screen wiper in position 1 or 2, it will auto-
matically change to a lower position
speed. The set speed will be resumed when
the vehicle pulls away.
●
The windscreen will be wiped again ap-
proximately 5 seconds after the wind-
screen washer has been activated, provi-
ded the vehicle is moving (“drip” function).
If you activate the wipers less than 3 sec-
onds after the “drip” function, a new wash
sequence will begin without performing the
last wipe. For the “drip” function to work
again, you have to turn the ignition off and
then on again.
