vice, there are other
maintenance jobs that are related to the condition
s of use and the equip-
ment. The need for these additional operations will de
pend on the age and
mileage of the vehicle, to ensure good performance. Y
our SEAT dealer will

Additional service offersLegal inspection service Legal inspections must be carried out in the stipulated periods.Many countries have legal requirements for regular vehic
le checks
concerning safety issues for road use and the comp
osition of exhaust gases.
These checks must be supervised by authorised
centres.
Your Authorised Service Centre can inform you of the m
andatory legal inspec-
tions and can check whether your vehicle meets th
e required standards. This
will save you time and money. Your Authorised Service Centre can carr
y out the required inspections, at the
clients request.Even if you decide not to use this service, and you wish
to take your car to be
checked in an authorised centre, it is advisable to inform th
e head of your
Authorised Service Centre. He will inform you of the aspects to consider, to av
oid problems and so the
obligation to repeat the inspection.Official Spare PartsAll the parts of the vehicle have been authorised by S
EAT, especially those
related to safety. For this reason, the spare parts used in
the programmed
inspection service and any repairs to the vehicle should m
atch the manufac-
turer's specifications exactly. The authorised spare p
arts have been designed
exclusively for your vehicle. We recommend
that you always use official spare
parts.
The SEAT authorised Service Centres ha
ve the most important official spare
parts. If for extraordinary circumstances a part is not av
ailable, in general it
can be supplied quickly in most cases.The SEAT Authorised Service Centres within the EU apply
a 24 month guar-
antee
4) to official spare parts from the moment of fitting or s
ale. For this
reason, the invoice from your Authorised Service Centre shoul
d be kept as
proof of the starting date of the guarantee. Ask your Authorised Servic
e Centre for more details.
Official ReplacementsOfficial replacements, in accordance with the manufa
cturer's instructions,
are another service at your disposal, offering the p
ossibility of replacing
complete sections, the most common be
ing: lighter engines, gearboxes,
cylinder heads, control units, electrical parts, etc.These parts are, naturally
Approved Parts
and, as such enjoy the same guar-
antee as the factory parts.However, their price is far lower, because the factory t
akes used parts and
reconditions them. Keep the invoice for the official repla
cements as proof of
the start of the guarantee period. Ask your Authorised Servic
e Centre for more details.
4)This guarantee does not apply to all export mark
ets. Ask your Authorised Service Cen-
tre for further information
