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
winds
creen 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 winds

tarting your journey.
● Careless handling could lead to the wiper
arms dam
aging the windscreen.
● For safety reasons, the wiper blades should
be chan
ged once or twice a year. They can be
purchased at a SEAT Authorised Service.
● The ignition cannot be switched on while
the winds
creen wiper arms are in a raised po-
sition. Otherwise, the windscreen wipers
would return to their original position and

Before beginning any journey, adjust the rear
view mirrors for a good rear visibility. WARNING
● Con v

ex (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 di
s

tance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mir-
ror to e
stimate distances to vehicles behind
you. Note
● Ext erior mirr or

s are only heated when the
engine is running.
● Do not touch the exterior mirrors when the
heating sy
stem is running.
● If the electrical adjustment should ever fail
to operat
e, the rear vision mirrors can be ad-
justed by hand by pressing the edge of the
mirror glass.
● Visit the technical service in the event of a
fault
in the electrical rear vision mirror ad-
justment system. 130
