● 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

g 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. Therefore,
when driving abroad, adhesive strips should
be attached to the headlights or the head-
lights should be adjusted accordingly.
The direction of the headlights can be adjus-
ted from the instrument panel, in the Tou-
rist light submenu of the Configura-
tion menu ›››

For those vehicles in which it is not possible
to adjust the headlights from the menu, ad- hesive strips are used to cover certain parts
of the hea

dlamp 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. Note
Use of the Tourist light option and the
adhe s

ives on the headlights is only allowed if
they are to be used for a short period of time.
To modify the direction of the headlights per-
manently, please take the vehicle to a speci-
alised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
