Lights
draw the attention of other road users to
your stationary vehicle
.

Operation
Driving abroad The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: the side of the road on which
you are driving is lit more int ensely.
When a car that is manuf
actured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is nor-
mally necessary to cover part of the head-
light bulbs with stickers or to change the ad-
justment of the headlights to avoid dazzling
other drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution. This
is known as “Tourist light”.
The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED headlights allows the specific “tourist
light” values to be met without the need for
stickers or changes in the settings. Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you are planning a long st ay in a country
that driv

es on the other side, you should
take the vehicle to an Authorised Technical
Service to change the headlights. Interior lights

Driving
The area in front of and around the radar
sensor shoul d not be co
ver
ed with adhesiv
es,
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, Front Assist operation may be affected.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this purpose. CAUTION
If you have the feeling that the radar sensor
is damaged or has lost its settings, discon-
nect the Front Assist. This will avoid possi-
bl e danger

ous situations caused by the in-
adequate operation of the system. If this
occurs have it adjusted.

Driver assistance systems
Overtaking
When the t urn signal lights up bef
ore the v
e-
hicl
e starts to overtake, the ACC accelerates
the vehicle automatically and thus reduces
the distance from the vehicle in front.
When the vehicle moves to the overtaking
lane, if the ACC does not detect another ve-
hicle in front, it accelerates until it reaches the
programmed speed.
System acceleration can be interrupted at
any time by pressing the brake or moving the
third lever to position 
