Light Assist - Seat LEON Owner's Manual

In vehicles that do not have the correspond-
ing menu, this function can be deactivated in
a specialised workshop.
WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals, or
forgetting to deactivate them can confuse
other road users. This could result in a seri-
ous accident.
● Always give warning when you are going to
change lane, overtake or when turning, acti-
vating the turn signal in good time.
● As soon as you have finished changing
lane, overtaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause ac-
cidents and serious injury, as the main beam
may distract or dazzle other drivers.
Note
● If the convenience turn signals are operat-
ing (three flashes) and the other convenience
turn signals are switched on, the active part
stops flashing and only flashes once in the
new part selected.
● The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.

Operation
If a trailer turn signal malfunctions, the
●
control lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will flash
at double speed.
The main beam headlights can only be
●
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
● In cold or damp weather conditions, the
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal and
in no way effects the useful life of the vehicle
lighting system.
