Location and deployment area of the

ont passengerIn conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag syst
em giv
es the driv

er and the front
passenger additional protection for the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision. Always remains as far away as possible
from the front airbag. This way, in the event of
an accident, the front airbags can deploy fully when triggered, providing maximum pro-
tection.
The front airbag f

steering wheel

Lights and visibility
Note
Use of the Tourist light option and the
adhesives on the headlights is only all o
wed
if they are to be used for a short period of
time. To modify the direction of the head-
lights permanently, please take the vehicle
to a specialised workshop. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a technical service centre. Headlight range control, lighting of

Operation
Headlight wash/wipe system
The headlight w ashers/wipers cl
ean the
headlight l
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*

ectro-mechanical power steering adapts
electronically to the speed of the car, torque
and turning angle.
If the power steering should fail at any time or
the engine is switched off (for instance when
being towed), the car can still be steered, as
long as the key remains in the ignition. How-
ever, more effort than normal will be required
to turn the steering wheel.
