If an obstacle is present, the closing mecha-

ll stop and the window will roll back a
few centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents closing for the next
10 seconds, the closing mechanism will once
again stop and the window will roll back an-
other few centimetres.
If in the next 10 seconds you attempt to close
the window after it has rolled back the sec-
ond time, only the closing mechanism will be
stopped even if the obstacle is still present.
The roll-back function is still connected.
The roll-back function will only be disconnec-
ted if you once again attempt to close the
window in the following 10 seconds. In this
case, the window will close at full force .
If you wait for a further 10 seconds, the roll-

The location of the controls of right-hand
drive cars differs slightly from the location
shown here ››› Fig. 129 ››› page 121. Howev-
er, the symbols indicating the respective po-
sitions of the controls remain the same. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The
side light s

are not bright enough to illumi-
nate the road ahead and to ensure that other
road users are able to see you. Always use
your dipped beam headlights if it is dark or if
visibility is poor. CAUTION
● Use the light s

in line with local law.
● However, drivers always remain responsi-
ble f
or correctly adjusting and using the
lights. Note
● An audibl e w

arning will be heard when the
light control is set to  and you remove the ignition key and open the door. Once the
driver door i
s

closed (ignition off), the audi-
ble warning will stop, whereas the side lights
will remain on to light up the stationary vehi-
cle in case this is necessary.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or
wet), the lights
may mist up temporarily on
the inside. This is particularly the case in the
event of a difference in temperature between
the inside and in front of the light. By switch-
ing on the lights, the area through which the
beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted, although the edges may remain
misted. The real lights and turn signals can
mist up. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. Side light and dipped beam headlight

The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
a
symmetric: the s
ide of

the road on which
you are driving is lit more intensely. When a car that is manufactured in a country
that driv

es 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 headlight
bulbs with stickers or to change the adjust-
ment of the headlights to avoid dazzling oth-
er 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 of the SEAT Toledo allows the
specific “tourist light” values to be met with-
out 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. 126
