Seat Leon FR 1.4 TSI headlight settings.

[Koulou]

Hey folks,

I own a 2016 Seat Leon FR 1.4 TSI (pre-facelift), and I've got some questions regarding the light settings in the car setup menu.

I didn't find anything about the "Motorway light" and the "Automatic headlight control (rain)" in the manual. If I understand properly, I guess that both of these should turn on the headlights either on motorways (depending on the vehicle speed) or when it rains. Are my assumptions correct?

Cheers.

You are correct about the headlights coming with rain (wiper stalk also has to be in the auto position) - will probably complete a few sweeps (c.3) before the lights activate.

The motorway lights may be one of a couple of things - I’m sure on the LED lights, there is a function over a certain speed (e.g. motorway speeds) the beam rises to aid the view further down the carriage way.

My Mk5 golf used to have a motorway function where the lights switched on at 90mph/150kmh. I think that this is due to the fact that on the autobahn it is recommended to have your headlights on when travelling at higher speeds.

My car is indeed fitted with LED lights. If the "Motorway light" setting indeed rises the aid of the lights (which is pretty low and I need to visit a dealer to check it), it will be awesome! I haven't driven on a motorway at night yet to notice a difference.

Checked the owners manual. When driving at 110+ kmh (68+ mph) for 30 secs, the LED light beams will raise. Will lower when speed drops below 110 kmh.

That's brilliant! Thanks for your help, @black_sheep!

The manual for my 2018 FR also states that main beam will raise above 70mph. However, on UK motorways the level of traffic means I very rarely can use main beam for more than a few seconds.

That's true. I'm wondering if the speed at which this feature is triggered can be adjusted. I can ask the dealer I'll bring my car for some minor fixes in ~three weeks' time. I'm expecting a negative response. However, I guess that this can probably be adjusted via coding and programming, but I haven't gone that way yet. I'm still new here...

Hej njerëz,

Unë zotëroj një Seat Leon FR 1.4 TSI të 2016-ës (pre-lift) dhe kam disa pyetje në lidhje me cilësimet e dritës në menynë e konfigurimit të makinës.

View attachment 30977

Nuk gjeta asgjë në lidhje me "dritën e autostradës" dhe "Kontrollimin automatik të fenerëve (shiut)" në manual. Nëse e kuptoj mirë, mendoj se të dyja këto duhet të ndezin fenerët ose në autostrada (në varësi të shpejtësisë së automjetit) ose kur bie shi. A janë të sakta supozimet e mia?

Gëzuar.

Përshëndetje. Kam te njejten makine me full led leon fr viti 2016 1.4 tsi. Por nuk e di nese ka drita te gjata automatike apo jo? E keni në makinë?
