116Lights and visibility
When a car that is manufactured in a country that drives on the right travels
to a country that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is normally necessary to
cover part of the headlight bulbs with stickers or to change the adjustment
of the headlights to avoid dazzling other drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain light values that must be com-
plied with for designated points of the light distribution. This is known as
“Tourist light”.
The light distribution that the halogen and full-LED headlights of the SEAT
Leon range have, 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 stay in
a country that drives on the other side, you should take the vehicle to an
Authorised Technical Service to change the headlights.
Coming home “function”
This function may be connected/disconnected through the radio menu. The
“Coming Home” and/or “Leaving Home” delay functions may also be set
(default: 30 sec.).
Vehicle with halo-
gen headlightsIn the “Coming Home” function, the daytime running
lights (DRL), the rear side lights and the licence plate
lights are turned on.
Vehicle with full-
LED headlightsIn the “Coming Home” function, the dipped beams
and the daytime running lights (DRL), the rear side
lights and the licence plate lights are switched on.

For vehicles with a light and rain sensor (rotary light switch in position ). ●
Switch off the engine and remove the key from the ignition with the rota-
ry light switch in position ⇒ Fig. 65.
● The automatic “Coming Home” function is only active when the light
sensor detects darkness.
● When the car door is opened, the “Coming Home” lighting comes on.
Activation “Coming Home” manual
For vehicles with a light and rain sensor (rotary light switch without position
).
● Switch off the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
● Activate the headlight flashers for approximately 1 second.
● Activated for any position of the rotary light switch.
● When the car door is opened, the “Coming Home” lighting comes on.
The headlights are turned off 60 seconds after the vehicle door is opened.
Deactivation
● If no door has been closed, they go out automatically after 60 seconds.
● After the last door has been closed, the headlights will be switched off
after the “Coming Home” delay (as established in the radio menu).
● On turning the light switch to position ⇒ Fig. 65 .
● When the ignition is switched on (when starting the engine).
Leaving Home “function”

● Damaged blades: A film of water on the damaged blades may lengthen
the activation time, reduce the washing intervals or result in a fast and con-
tinuous wipe.
● Insects: insects on the sensor may trigger the windscreen washer.
● Salt on roads: in winter, salt spread in the roads may cause an extra
long wipe when the windscreen is almost dry.
● Dirt: dry dust, wax, coating on glass (Lotus effect) or traces of detergent
(car wash) may reduce the effectiveness of the rain sensor or make it react
more slowly, later or not at all.
● Cracked windscreen: the impact of a stone will trigger a single wipe cy-
cle with the rain sensor on. Next the rain sensor detects the reduction in the
sensitive surface area and adapts accordingly. The behaviour of the sensor
will vary with the size of the damage caused by the stone.
WARNING
The rain sensor may not detect enough rain to switch on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually when water on the wind-
screen obstructs visibility.
Note
● Clean the sensitive surface of the rain sensor regularly and check the
blades for damage ⇒ Fig. 73 (arrow).
● To remove wax and coatings, we recommend a window cleaner contain-
ing alcohol. Checking and topping up the windscreen washer reservoir
with water
Fig. 74 In the engine
compartment: wind-
screen washer reservoir
top
Check the water level in the windscreen washer reservoir regularly and top
up as required.
● Open the bonnet
⇒ page 251.
● The washer reservoir is marked with the symbol on the lid
⇒ Fig. 74.
● Check there is enough water in the reservoir.
● To top up, mix water with a window cleaner recommended by SEAT
⇒
.
Please follow the instructions for use found on the packaging.
● In cold weather, a special antifreeze should also be added to prevent
the water from freezing ⇒

Recommended windscreen wipers
● For the hottest seasons we recommend summer G 052 184 A1 for clear
glass. Proportions of the mixture in the washer fluid tank: 1:100 (1 part con-
centrate per 100 parts water).
● All year round, G 052 164 A2 for clear glass. Approximate proportion of
the winter mixture, up to -18 °C (0 °F): 1:2 (1 part concentrate per 2 parts
water); otherwise, a 1:4 proportion of mixture in the washer fluid tank.
Reservoir capacity
The reservoir holds approximately 3 - 4 litres; in vehicles with headlight
washer, it is approximately 3 -6 litres.
WARNING
Never mix an unsuitable antifreeze or other similar additives with the
windscreen washer water. A greasy layer may be formed on the wind-
screen which will impair visibility.
● Use clean water with a window cleaner recommended by SEAT.
● If necessary, add a suitable antifreeze to the water in the reservoir.
CAUTION
● Do not mix cleaning products recommended by SEAT with other prod-
ucts. This could lead to flocculation and may block the windscreen washer
jets.
● When topping up service fluids, make absolutely certain that you fill the
fluids into the correct reservoirs. Using the wrong fluids could cause serious
malfunctions and engine damage! Rear vision mirror
