Scotland?Far away even from UK, not from Kent.
But thanks for offer and coding! I am sure sometime I will have an access and this is highly valuable mod.
Well, even from British Islands.. Far away from ANY islands..Scotland?

Hello guys, I have question about motorway lights. I have option "Motorway lights" in settings and I can on or off it, but I do not have position for light switch to auto. I do not have auto lights. Is that mean I do not have motorway lights and that in settings is for some another model? Also when I want to turn on coming home lights, I need to flash high beam once and when I open driver door, lights turn on for 30 seconds.
I don't believe motorway lights require you to have automatic lights.
So long as your headlights are on, motorway lights should activate, as far as I'm aware. I never really notice much of a difference with the motorway light function though.
Coming home lights are automatic if you have auto lights, but the way to activate them without is as you've described.
Thanks. I will try to attach my gopro camera on the hood and try to catch moment when motorway lights moves.
According to my manual, they come on after you've spent 30 seconds doing more than 110 km/h.
Hello guys again, finally I catch movement of motorway lights on my car and I record that moment with my camera.
There is a link for video:
First movement is at 9 seconds (when accelerating, move up).
Second movement is at 23 seconds (when slowing down, move down).

nobody drives at 70mph in this country lol
either doing 60 or 80+
jokes aside, i never noticed when NOT doing 70mph
Central electric module 09 there is a setting for the motorway lights. ie at what speed they come on and at what speed they return to normal if it helps. I've turned mine to 50mph and off at 40mph. If you have VCDS takes only a few minutes to do that.
Massive thread revival here.
Im looking at changing this setting on my 2019 R ST
I find the headlights not great on fast roads, motorway etc etc and I never see the lights raising even though I’ve ticked motorway lights in the settings.
The only setting I can find in the Control Unit 09 that might relate to this is
“RLS Lights for AutoBahn”
Is this the setting to adjust ?
Also the speeds are 140kph on, 65kph off
And 10secs delay on and 120secs off.
Doesn’t seem like the same settings everyone else on this thread is talking about ????

On the Mk5 Golf the lights used to come on at c.90 mph (140 kph) with auto lights (based in Germany at the time, so definitely worked).
I believe that this is the setting where your dipped beam and rear lights will be illuminated when in auto light mode, regardless of how dark it is outside.
Ahh very interesting thank you for this.
Sounds about right
I was wondering/hoping it was the setting where your lights raise 5% when on the motorway as per the first few posts in this thread.
Id like to be able to lower the speed at which they raise…. I’ve never actually seen them do it on my car and the handbook states 110kph, but they don’t.

I'd start off by making sure the lights are aligned properly to start with. When I got my Leon, the lights were terrible at night. Shining what felt like only feet in front of me. Unfamiliar dark back roads where impossible to go at anything above 30/40 MPH. When it had its first service, I got them to check the alignment and it was way off. Now they're literally like 'night and day' difference!
Cheers bud.
I’ve manually raised the drivers side with the adjuster screw and it’s improved things considerably, but I’d love to get the “motorway” light feature fine tuned or even working.
The handbook states 110kph they raise 5% but I can’t see evidence of this.
I can’t find any setting in any Control module in OBD11 relating to it, other than the Autobahn light setting in the post a few above.
But that seems to be something different entirely.
I seem to recall with the Ateca that automated raise only happens if you speed in the UK. Long time since I read up on that but that's how I remember it. An Autobahn thing not for us.
It’s strange however that there is mention in a lot of places from Seat - online,
Car handbook about 110kph raising of the headlights.
Mine definitely don’t raise at 110kph, I can see about 5meters of the road ahead, no more
.
The reference I found in Contol module 9,
RLS for Autobahn clearly shows 140kph.
But why would it be called RLS (rain/light sensor) in reference to control the headlight raising ?
Surely all that implies is it is in fact an on/off feature of the headlights at 140kph.
Im not sure how I can test this… drive at 86mph during the day somehow try and tell if the headlights come on

One way to check if the system is working (headlights, plus the front and rear levelling sensors) is on start up at night whilst facing a wall or garage door - the light beams will move across the full range as part of the built in test. Mine definitely work as intended at UK motorway speeds. I live quite close to a motorway/national speed limit road, and see the beams lower when I arrive home, but it is not noticeable when they are activated.It’s strange however that there is mention in a lot of places from Seat - online,

In response the the RLS comment, this is because the function only operates when the light switch for RLS is in the 'Auto' mode, the same as High Beam Assist.
And for all of those commenting about how poor the LED lights are, do some back to back driving with halogen non-projector lights.
Good info thank you.
Mine go through the self levelling test on startup no issues there.
The issue is my lights never seem to raise in the motorway.
As stated, I’ve just raised the drivers side beam manually with the adjuster screw and it’s better, I can see about 10 meters now not 5 on an unlit road.
Do you @black_sheep have OBD11 by any chance ?
Can you check in Control module 9>Adaptations>
And see if you have the same settings as me posted above
