Rear View Mirrors - Seat Arona 2018 Owner's Manual

WARNING
The rain sensor* may not detect enough
rain to switch on the wipers.
If necessary, switch on the wipers man-
●
ually when water on the windscreen ob-
structs visibility.
CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the
windscreen wipers and the window wiper
are not frozen. If you switch on the wind-
screen wipers when the wiper blades are
frozen to the windscreen, you could dam-
age both the wiper blades and the wiper
motor.
Note
The wipers and washers will work only
●
when the ignition is switched on.
The heat output of the heated jets* is
●
controlled automatically when the ignition
is switched on, depending upon the outside
temperature.
In certain versions of vehicles with
●
alarms, the windscreen wiper will only work
in interval/rain sensor mode when the igni-
tion is on and the bonnet closed.
When the interval wipe function is on, the
●
intervals are directly proportional to the
speed. This way, the higher the vehicle
speed the shorter the intervals.

Operation
If you stop the vehicle with the wind-
●
screen wiper in position 1 or 2, it will auto-
matically change to a lower position
speed. The set speed will be resumed when
the vehicle pulls away.
The windscreen will be wiped again after
●
approximately five seconds once the "au-
tomatic wash/wipe system" has been acti-
vated, provided the vehicle is moving (drip
function). If you activate the wipers less
than 3 seconds after the drip function, a
new wash sequence will begin without per-
forming the last wipe. For the "drip" func-
tion to work again, you have to turn the ig-
nition off and then on again.
Do not put stickers on the windscreen in
●
front of the rain sensor*. This may cause
sensor disruption or faults.
Depending on the version of the model,
●
when you engage reverse gear and with
the headlight wiper activated, this can
start a wipe.

Rear view mirrors

Interior mirror
It is dangerous to drive if you cannot see
clearly through the rear window.
Interior mirror with automatic anti-dazzle
function*
The anti-dazzle function is activated every
time the ignition is switched on.
When the anti-dazzle function is enabled, the
interior rear vision mirror will darken auto-
matically according to the amount of light it
receives. The anti-dazzle function is cancel-
led if reverse gear is engaged.
Note
The automatic anti-dazzle function will
●
only work properly if the sun blind* for the
rear window is retracted and there are no
other objects preventing light from reach-
ing the interior rear vision mirror.
If you have to stick any type of sticker on
●
the windscreen, do not do so in front of the
sensors. Doing so could prevent the anti-
dazzle function from working well or even
from working at all.
Folding in the exterior mirrors man-
ually
The exterior mirrors of the vehicle may be fol-
ded in. For this, press the mirror housing to-
wards the vehicle.
