The hazard warning lights system is designed to immediately alert surrounding traffic and other road users to your vehicle whenever you encounter an unexpected emergency or breakdown.

If your Seat Leon is stationary due to an incident:

1. Park the vehicle at a secure distance away from active road traffic lanes.

2. Press the instrument panel hazard warning button to activate all indicator lamps.

3. Engage the electronic parking brake firmly.

4. Switch off the engine.

5. Manual gearbox: Engage 1st gear to secure the transmission.

Automatic gearbox: Press the parking lock button P.

6. Comply fully with local statutory road regulations in your country (such as putting on a high-visibility reflective vest and setting up a warning triangle or light beacon).

7. Always take the vehicle key with you whenever you step out of your Seat Leon.

When the hazard warning lights are turned on, all exterior turn signals flash simultaneously. The two dashboard turn signal lamps along with the integrated warning light inside the dash button will flash in unison. This emergency flasher system remains fully functional even when the vehicle ignition is switched off.

While the hazard warning lights are active, you can still signal an intended turn or lane change—such as when your vehicle is being towed—by operating the steering column turn signal stalk. During this time, the hazard flashing pauses temporarily on the indicated side while remaining active overall.
