Operation
If the hazard warning lights are not working,
y
ou mu
s
t use an alternative method of draw-
ing attention to your vehicle. This method
must comply with traffic legislation.
WARNING
A faulty vehicle in traffic represents a risk of
accident
for the driver and for other road
users.
●
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park the vehicle a safe distance from sur-
rounding 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, passengers
will be trapped inside the vehicle. Individuals
locked in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system reach
very
high temperatures. 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 vehic
le battery will discharge and run
down if the hazard warning lights remain on
for too long (even with the ignition turned
off).
●
In some vehicles, the brake lights will flash
when brakin
g abruptly at speeds of approxi-
mately 80 km/h (50 mph) to warn vehicles
travelling behind. If braking continues, the
hazard warning lights system will automati-
cally be turned on at a speed of less than ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph). The brake
lights remain lit. Upon accelerating, the haz-
ard warning lights will be automatically
turned off.
Adjusting the headlights
In those countries where vehicles drive on
the other s
ide of
the r
oad 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 ov
er 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.
