Lights and visibility
Leaving home: necessary operations
To switch sys-
tem off:
– Automatically, at the end of the delay
period.
– When the vehicle is locked.
– When the light switch is turned to po-
sition
.
– When the ignition is switched on.
Lighting around the exterior mirrors
The lighting around the exterior mirrors illu-
minates the door area on entering and leav-
ing the vehicles. It comes on when the vehi-
cle is unlocked, when the vehicle door is
opened and when the “Coming home” or
“Leaving home” function is switched on. If
the equipment includes the light sensor, the
lighting around the exterior mirrors only
comes when it is dark.
Note
The time taken for the headlights to go off
can be changed in the Lights & Visibility menu
and the fu
nction can be switched on or off
page 47.
When the “Coming home” function is on, if
the vehicle door is opened there is no audible
warning signal to advise that the light is still
on.
Adhesive strips for headlights or
adjusting 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. Therefore,
when driving abroad, adhesive strips should
be attached to the headlights or the head-
lights should be adjusted accordingly.
The direction of the headlights can be adjus-
ted from the instrument panel, in the Tourist
light submenu of the Configuration menu
page 51
.
F
or tho
se vehicles in which it is not possible
to adjust the headlights from the menu, ad-
hesive strips are used to cover certain parts
of the headlamp cover or the headlights may
be adjusted at a specialised workshop. For
further information, please refer to a special-
ised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
technical service.
Note
Use of the Tourist light option and the adhe-
sives on the headlights is only allowed if they
are to be used for a short period of time. To
modify the direction of the headlights perma-
nently, please take the vehicle to a special-
ised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
technical service centre.
