69Lights and visibility
WARNING
If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is not clearly visible to other
drivers, there is a risk of accident.
● Never use the daytime driving light if the road is not well-lit as a re-
sult of the weather conditions and poor visibility. The daytime driving
lights are not bright enough to illuminate the road ahead and to ensure
that other road users are able to see you.
● The rear lights do not come on with the daytime driving light. A vehi-
cle which does not have the rear lights on may not be visible to other
drivers in the darkness, if it is raining or in conditions of poor visibility.
Note
The headlights, rear lights and turn signals may mist up temporarily on the
inside in cool or damp weather. This is normal and in no way effects the
useful life of the vehicle lighting system.
Adjusting the headlights
In those countries where vehicles drive on the other side of the road to the
home country, the asymmetric dipped beam may dazzle drivers of oncom-
ing vehicles.
For this reason, stickers may need to be used to cover the certain parts of
the headlights when driving abroad. For further information, please refer to
a specialised 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 permanently, please take
the vehicle to a specialised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a Techni-
cal Service.

The headlight range control ⇒ Fig. 48 is modified according to the value of
the headlight beam and the vehicle load status. This offers the driver opti-
mum visibility and the headlights do not dazzle oncoming drivers ⇒

The headlights can only be adjusted when the dipped beam is switched on.
To reset, turn switch ⇒ Fig. 48:
