Lights and visibility
The light distribution that the halogen and
f u
l
l-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 ar e p

lanning 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. Headlight range control, lighting of

Instrument panel lighting
With the ignition on and without light activa-
tion, the instrument panel lighting remains
activated in daytime light conditions. The
lighting is reduced as the exterior light di-
minishes. In some cases, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel without the  function
active, the instrument panel lighting may
even switch off. The objective of this function »

If the vehicle is at a

ally changes to the previous posi-
tion.
During automatic
wipe
The air conditioner comes on for
approximately 30 seconds in air
recirculation mode to prevent the
smell of the windscreen washer
fluid entering the inside the vehi-
cle.
For the interval wipe
Intervals between wipes depend
on the vehicle's speed. The high-
er the vehicle speed the shorter
the intervals. Heated windscreen washer jets

ly thaws the frozen jets, it
does not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
When the ignition is switched on the heated
windscreen washer jets automatically adjust
the heat depending on the ambient tempera-
ture.
Headlight wash/wipe system
The headlight washers/wipers clean the
headlight lenses.
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 pul

led towards the steering wheel when
the dipped beam or main beam are on. Any
incrusted 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 anti-
icing spray. Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obstacles
that ar

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

there are fastening rings to secure
the luggage ››› Fig. 174.
In order to use the fastening rings, they must
be lifted beforehand 1)
. WARNING
If unsuitable or damaged belts or retaining
str ap

s are used, they could break in the event
of braking or an accident. Objects could then
be launched across the passenger compart-
ment and cause serious or fatal injuries.
● Always use belts or retaining straps that
are suit
able and in a good condition.
● Belts and retaining straps should be se-
curely
fastened to the fastening rings.
● Objects in the luggage compartment that
are un
secured could move suddenly and mod-
ify the handling of the vehicle.
● Secure all objects, little and large.
● Never exceed the maximum tensile load of
the fas
tening ring when securing objects.
● Never secure a child seat to the fastening
rings. Note
● The max imum t

ensile load that the fasten-
ing rings can support is 3.5 kN. ●
Belt s

and securing systems for the appro-
priate load can be obtained from specialised
dealerships. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
● The fastening rings are rendered unusable
for v
ersions with spare wheel and CNG. 1)

● Store the net bag in the luggage compart-
ment. WARNING
To secure the elastic net bag on the fastening
ring s

it must be stretched out. Once hooked
up it is taut. If the net bag is hooked up or un-
hooked incorrectly the hooks could cause in-
juries.
● Always secure the net hooks properly so
that they
do not suddenly release from the
fastening rings when hooking or unhooking
them.
● On hooking or unhooking them, protect
your eye
s and face in case the hooks are re-
leased suddenly.
● Always hook up the net bag hooks in the
desc
ribed order. If a hook is unexpectedly re-
leased the risk of injury is increased. Luggage compartment variable floor

could be flung though the interior and cause
serious or fatal injuries. ●
Alw a

ys secure objects, even when the lug-
gage compartment floor is properly lifted.
● Only objects that do not protrude more
than 2/3 the height of
the floor may be car-
ried between the rear seat and the raised lug-
gage compartment floor.
● Only objects that do not weigh than ap-
prox
imately 7.5 kg may be carried between
the rear seat and the raised luggage compart-
ment floor. CAUTION
● The m aximum w

eight that can be loaded on
the luggage compartment variable floor in

roof carrier systems. For safety reasons,
special fixtures must be used to safely trans-
port luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards or
boats on the roof. Suitable accessories can
be acquired at SEAT dealerships.
Always secure the crossbars and the roof car-
rier system properly. Always take the assem-
bly instructions that come with the crossbars
and the roof carrier system in question into
account.

Incorrect attachment and use of the cross-
bar s

and the roof carrier system may cause
the whole system to detach from the roof and
cause an accident and injuries.
● Always take the manufacturer assembly in-
structions
into account.
● Use only crossbars and the roof carrier sys-
tem when they ar
e in perfect condition and
are properly secured.
● Secure the crossbars and the roof carrier
syst
em properly.
● Check threaded joints and attachments
travel
ling and if necessary tighten them after
you have travelled a short distance. When
making long trips, check the threaded joints
whenever you stop for a rest.
● Always fit the special roof carrier systems
correctly
for wheels, skis and surfboards, etc.
● Do not modify or repair the crossbars or
roof c
arrier system. Note
Always read the assembly instructions that
come w ith the c

rossbars and the roof carrier
system carefully and keep them in the vehi-
cle. Loading the roof carrier system
The load can only be secured if the crossbars
and the roof
c

arrier system are properly in-
stalled ››› .
Max imum authori

sed roof load
The maximum permissible roof load is 75 kg.
This figure comes from the combined weight
of the roof carrier, the cross bars and the load
itself on the roof ››› .
A lw
a

ys check the weight of the roof carrier
system, the cross bars and the weight of the
load to be transported and weigh them if
necessary. Never exceed the maximum au-
thorised roof load.
If you are using cross bars and a roof carrier
with a lower weight rating, you will not be
able to carry the maximum authorised roof
load. In this case, do not exceed the maxi-
mum weight limit for the roof carrier which is
listed in the fitting instructions.
