Operation
Note
In the event of a drop in voltage in the on-
board systems, the heated rear window
switches off automatically to ensure enough
power to control the engine ››› page 143, Au-
tomatic disconnection of electrical equip-
ment. Sun visors
Fig. 54
Driver's sun visor. Fig. 55
Front passenger's sun visor. The sun visors for the driver and the front
passenger can be pulled out of their central
supports and turned towards the doors in the
direction of arrow
1
››› Fig. 54 and 2 ›››
Fig. 55 respectively.
The s trip A is to store small objects such as
notepaper, etc.
The front passenger sun visor includes a van-
ity mirror B with a cover. The cover is
opened by sliding it in the direction indicated
by arrow 3
››› Fig. 55 . WARNING
Do not turn sun visors with attached objects
such as ball-pens, etc. toward the head pro-
tection airbag triggering zone on the side
windows. The head protection airbags could
injure occupants if triggered. Windscreen wipers and
windscreen washers
Introduction The windscreen wipers and windscreen
washers only work when the ignition is
switched on.
The speed of the automatic wipe in case of
rain is automatically adjusted according to
the intensity of the rainfall.The rear window is wiped once if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on and reverse
gear is engaged.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid
››› page 139. WARNING
● Make sure the blades ››› page 162 are in
perfect condition for good visibility and safe
driving.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road. CAUTION
● During winter, always check that the wind-
screen wiper blades are not frozen to the
glass before each trip or before switching on
the ignition. If you switch on the windscreen
wipers when the wiper blades are frozen to
the glass, this could damage both the wiper
blades and the wiper motor.
● If the ignition is switched off when the
windscreen wipers are on, they will start op-
erating in the same mode when the ignition
is switched back on. The wiper blades may be
frozen to the glass at low temperatures when
the ignition is switched off.
● Carefully separate the frozen wipers from
the windscreen or rear window. 68

Lights and visibility
●
Remove snow and ice from the wipers be-
fore starting your journey.
● Careless handling could lead to the wiper
arms damaging the windscreen.
● For safety reasons, the wiper blades should
be changed once or twice a year. They can be
purchased at a SEAT Authorised Service.
● The ignition cannot be switched on while
the windscreen wiper arms are in a raised po-
sition. Otherwise, the windscreen wipers
would return to their original position and
could damage the paintwork on the bonnet. Note
Keep the wipers clean. The wipers can be
soiled with remains of wax solutions from car
washes ››› page 124.
● On vehicles equipped with windscreen
washer jets, these are heated once the en-
gine is running. Handling windscreen wipers and

● Convex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors give
a larger field of vision. However, they make
objects appear smaller and further away than
they really are. For this reason, you should
not rely on these rear vision mirrors for judg-
ing the distance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mir-
ror to estimate distances to vehicles behind
you. Note
● Exterior mirrors are only heated when the
engine is running. 70
