WARNING
A faulty vehicle in traffic represents a risk
of accident for the driver and f
or other road
users.
●
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possi-
ble. Park the vehicle a safe distance from
surrounding traffic to lock all the doors in
case of an emergency. Turn on the hazard
warning lights to warn other road users.
●
Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle if the doors are to be
locked. In case of an emergency, passen-
gers will be trapped inside the vehicle. Indi-
viduals locked in the vehicle can be ex-
posed to very high or very low tempera-
tures.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system
reach very high t
emperatures. This could
cause a fire and considerable damage.
●
Always park your vehicle so that no part
of the exhaust system can come in contact
with flammable materials (such as dried
grass or fuel).
Note
●
The vehicle batt
ery will discharge and
run down if the hazard warning lights re-
main on for too long (even with the ignition
turned off).
●
In some vehicles, the br
ake lights will
flash when braking abruptly at speeds of
approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) to warn
vehicles travelling behind. If braking con-
tinues, the hazard warning lights system
will automatically be turned on at a speed
of less than approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph). The brake lights remain lit. Upon
accelerating, the hazard warning lights will
be automatically turned off.

For those vehicles in which it is not possible to
adjust the headlights from the menu, adhe-

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.
