Operation
Headlight wash/wipe system

enses.
After the ignition is switched on, the first and
every fifth time the windscreen washer is
switched on, the headlights are also washed.
Therefore, the windscreen wiper lever should
be pulled towards the steering wheel when
the dipped beam or main beam are on. Any
encrusted dirt (such as insects) should be
cleaned regularly (e.g. when refuelling).
To ensure the headlight washers work cor-
rectly in winter, any snow which has got into
the bumper jet supports should be cleaned
away. If necessary, remove snow with an an-
ti-icing spray. Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obsta-
cles that ar e on the windscr

een. The wiper
will stop moving if the obstacle blocks its
path. Remove the obstacle and switch the
wiper back on again. Rain sensor*

on the r oad or sheets used in r
oad w
orks).
The area in front of and around the radar
sensor should not be covered with adhesives,
additional or similar headlights, as this may
negatively affect Front Assist operation.
If the front of the vehicle is not properly re-
paired or structural modifications are made
to it, for example if the suspension is lowered,
Front Assist operation may be affected. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose. CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar
sensor is damaged or has lost its settings, disconnect the Fr ont Assist. This will av

oid
possible dangerous situations caused by a
system malfunction. If this occurs have it
adjusted.
