Operation
Note
The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off ›› page 170.
If an
y of both turn signals fails, the warning
lamp will start flashing twice faster than nor-
mal.
The main beam headlights can only be
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
Adjusting the headlights
In those countries where vehicles drive on
the other side of the road to the home coun-
try, the asymmetric dipped beam may dazzle
drivers of oncoming vehicles.
For this reason, stickers may be needed to
cover the headlights when driving abroad.
For further information, please refer to a spe-
cialised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting
a technical service.
Note
The use of stickers to cover headlights is only
permitted over a short period. To modify the
direction of the headlamps more permanent-
ly, please take the vehicle to a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends taking your car
in for technical service.

Instrument and switch lighting
When the side lights or dipped beam head-
lights are switched on, the lighting for instru-
ments and controls lights up at a constant
brightness.
WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle may mean that
the headlights dazzle and distract other driv-
ers. This could result in a serious accident.
Adjust the light beam to the vehicle load
status so that it does not blind other drivers.
